Linda Young

Linda Andrus-Young, 73 Departed this earth October 15, 2020 of natural causes while a resident of Holy Spirit Retirement Home and while in care of Hospice of SiouxLand.

Linda’s ancestry is linked to the Ballenski family known to be early homesteaders in Walworth county, SD. She enjoyed birdwatching and gardening, baking sweets, doing crafts, playing games and solving puzzles. She was an avid reader of many different genres of writing. Her skills as a seamstress were outstanding, equal to any couture designer, ready to wear denim was one of her favorites. She always enjoyed planning meals and experimenting with new recipes. She embraced an early Saturday morning with an éclair and a cup of coffee. She always enjoyed finding a treasure at a local thrift or consignment shop. She was particularly fond of her pets throughout her life. Her trips to Sedona, AZ were always a nice break from winter. She lived her life in a manner supporting human rights and equality for all people and had great faith in the Holy Spirit. She lived by, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

A special thank you to the Morris family that was very supportive of Linda in her time of need. Much appreciation to the Closter family for their continued support. 

Linda is survived by her son Joe Young of Sioux City, IA, her daughter Angie Young (partner Jacki Leyk) of Minnetonka, MN. Preceded in death: mother E. Virginia Bond, grandmother Helen Herman-Bond, grandfather Floyd Bond, ex-husband Gene Young, all of Sioux City, IA, and father L.Kenneth Andrus of Tehama Bluff, CA.
