LINDA M. WERKMEISTER
Linda May (Littell) Werkmeister, 81, of Curtis, NE, passed away peacefully on March 20, 2025. Born on July 17, 1943, in Maywood, NE, Linda was the cherished daughter of Ralph and Edith (Kahler) Littell.
Linda’s early education took place at Bartley School District 80, a oneroom schoolhouse where she attended through 8th grade. She then graduated from Maywood High School in 1961. Following high school, Linda pursued further education at the Grand Island School of Business. Her career began at the McCook Public Power District, followed by positions at the Co-Op in Curtis, and culminated in a dedicated 42-year tenure at the City of Curtis.
Linda had a passion for gardening, playing bridge, and treasured the moments spent with her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. She was known for her beautiful garden, which was always filled with vibrant flowers and vegetables. Her bridge club friends fondly remember her as a fierce competitor who always brought laughter and joy to their gatherings. Everybody that knew Linda knew that when 5 o’clock rolled around she had a Toddie in her hand.
In high school, Linda met the love of her life, Ronnie Werkmeister, and they were married on May 10, 1964. Together, they raised two wonderful children, Vickie and Bryan. Linda and Ronnie shared a love for travel and often took road trips across the country, creating countless memories along the way.
