KRACKE, Linda Jean

My beloved wife, Linda Jean Kracke, born on March 30, 1951, in Sioux Falls, S.D., passed away on May 12, 2022.

Linda is survived by her husband, Gene Kracke, her three children Elizabeth (Kracke) Osborn and husband, Brian; Joseph Kracke and wife, Jane; and Mathew Kracke. She also leaves behind her cousins Nick Vigna, Tom Vigna, Elvy Vigna, Joe Vigna and Janet Dubin, as well as her eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

She was a fierce protector of her family and those she loved. She was known to be the first to lend a helping hand. This world has truly lost an angel on earth. She will be forever loved and missed.
