Linda Mennenoh

Mrs. Linda Lou (Hansen) Mennenoh, age 78 of Audubon, IA, passed away on Tuesday, Sept 9, 2025, at the Friendship Home in Audubon, IA.

Linda was born on January 10, 1947, in Carroll, IA, to Emmert Andrew and Irene Margart (Nielsen) Hansen. Linda attended Viola Schools K-8th grade, then went to Audubon High School, graduating with the class of 1965. On June 19, 1965, she was united in marriage to Eugene Mennenoh at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Audubon, IA. To this union, two children were born: Lisa Eileen and Daniel Eugene.

When her children were young, Linda was a stay-at-home mother and 4-H leader. Linda loved to bake, garden, and raise flowers. She also helped her husband run their farm. In 1980, they started a landscape business, G&L Lawnscapes, where Linda kept the books and helped with the mowing and selling of plants and trees. Even with all the responsibilities she had in running their business, Linda was able to maintain a loving home life for her children and husband.

In retirement, Linda enjoyed quilting and reading, but most of all she enjoyed having family over. She was an excellent cook and loved to host gatherings. She also hosted many afternoon coffee time get-togethers with family and friends, but her favorite coffee times were the ones that her great-grandchildren came to.

Linda was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and will be missed greatly.

Linda is preceded in death by her husband, Eugene Mennenoh; parents, Emmert and Irene Hansen; parents-in-law, G. Reinhard and Rose Mennenoh; sister, Gloria Clausen; and brother-in-law, Don Bybee.

Her siblings, Carol (Lanny) Clausen, Debbie Bybee, Kim (Doug) Peterson, Mitch (Michelle) Hansen, and several nieces, nephews, and dear friends.
