LINDA J. BREITING

Linda Jane Breiting, 65, of Malcom died April 20, 2016, at her home.

Memorial contributions may be directed to the Linda J. Breiting Memorial Fund.

Linda was born May 19, 1950, in Grinnell, the daughter of Melvin and Norma Gable Steffen. She was raised in the Malcom area and was a graduate of BGM High School.

On December 13, 1974, she was united in marriage with Kenneth Breiting, at the Trinity Lutheran Church near Malcom. The couple have made their home on an acreage near Malcom.

Linda was employed with GTE in Grinnell for several years and then began raising and showing registered South Devon Cattle. She was a former member of the Trinity Lutheran Church and for many years a member and secretary of the South Devon Cattle Association.

Linda loved her life on the farm and being in the outdoors. She loved nature and bird watching, particularly in her area, and was very kind and caring to animals. She held a big-heart!

Survivors include her husband, Ken of Malcom; and two brothers, Larry (Julie Kjolhede) Steffen of Ankeny and David (Phyllis) Steffen of Malcom. She was preceded in death by her parents; one brother, Tim Steffen and one sister in infancy, Marilyn Steffen.
