LINDA (VON LEHMDEN) MCQUEEN
Linda Ann (Von Lehmden) McQueen, 81, of Metamora, passed away at home on October 3, 2021, with her loving husband at her side.
She was born to Louis and Estelle (Wood) Von Lehmden in Cincinnati, on August 26, 1940.
After marrying her husband, Stanley McQueen, in 1988, Linda made her family the center of her life. She was the type of person who could truly make a house into a home, and she did just that. Linda was a natural hostess and entertainer. She would often invite people to the family farm and everyone just knew they would be eating a wonderful meal that evening. Her famous pies were especially something to look forward to.
When the holidays came around, Linda had a way of making them special for her family. She seemed to effortlessly create an atmosphere of warmth and love.
Linda loved farm life and sharing it with her grandchildren and great granddaughter. She could often be found watching an old western movie, especially if John Wayne was in it. She also enjoyed Tomb Stone, Andy Griffith, Gun Smoke, and Ghost Hunters. Linda was always an expressive soul with quick wit. Not only was she a tremendous chef, but she was also known to quilt and sew.
Linda will be deeply missed by her husband, Stanley McQueen; daughters, Kimm Siemer (Matt) and Wendy Gilkey (Brian); grandchildren, Stephen, Cole, Nicholas, and Lauren; and great granddaughter, Gabby.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Louis and Estelle; her daughter, Tracy; grandson Christopher; and brother Carl Von Lehmden.
The family will be holding private services at a later date.
