Linda was born April 20, 1959, in St. Cloud to Adolph and Martha (Schroden) Kirchner. She lived in the Sauk Rapids area most of her life and was employed by CentraCare in health information management for 22 years as well as Sam’s Club for 25 years in the bakery. She was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, where she took an active role in volunteering at the annual church bazaar in the book stand; a small part of her strong faith in the Catholic religion. Linda enjoyed playing volleyball, dancing and movies. Linda will always be remembered for her unwavering selflessness, generosity, genuine care for others, and her tremendous work ethic. Over the years, she donated to multiple service organizations, churches and charities, as well as regularly donated blood, volunteered and gave life to others by being an organ donor.
Family was the mos important thing to Linda, she always put everyone else before herself, even if she didn’t know you. She had so many gifts, one of which was making you feel special and putting a smile on your face.
Linda is survived by her son, Adam Jarboe of Chisago City; siblings, Joyce Kirchner of Sauk Rapids, Don (Sandy) Kirchner of Sauk Rapids, Diane (Bruce) Hultgren of St. James, Darlene Andert of St. James, John Kirchner of Sauk Rapids, Ed (Kathy) Kirchner of Sauk Rapids, Marie (Kevin) Gerads of Rice, Barb (Loren) Mielke of Sauk Rapids, Roger (Diane) Kirchner of Sartell; and sister-in-law Barb Kirchner of Sauk Rapids.
