Linda Dormann was born on April 27, 1949, to Albert and Helen Bentley. After a courageous battle with both illness and cancer, she left this world and travelled to her final resting place just as snow began to fall and the sun rose, surrounded by family at her home.

She was born in Bridgeport, Nebraska, and lived in Lisco, NE, until 1988. During that time, Linda attended school in Oshkosh, NE, and graduated with a high school diploma. She also underwent schooling to become a stewardess shortly thereafter. She acquired a license to be a stewardess, but life did not allow her to see the world

in the way she had originally intended. She never dwelled on her past but rather looked for more opportunities for the best possible experiences.

Linda was united in marriage with Thomas Cooper in 1968.This union was blessed with four children: Greggory, Dagny, Nathan, and Nickola. She concluded her marriage to Thomas in 1983.

Linda was a hardworking woman who dedicated her life to being a mother, friend, and neighbor. Her door was always open. Nothing made her happier than to sit down and share stories as well as get filled in on all the tribulations or triumphs that life brought her friends, family, and neighbors. Linda was strong, caring, understanding, smart, courteous, just a hair stubborn, and above all else, humble. She believed in people, creating a home where everyone could be welcomed, and always gave everything she could give.

Linda later married Ron Dormann in 1987. She moved to Oshkosh in 1988 and lived out the remainder of her life on the Dormann ranch. She spent most of her life working and being a caretaker for her friends and family. Linda had as many jobs as she could manage to provide for those she cared for. She also spent a good amount of her time helping others get their own work done.

Linda had one sister and four brothers. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ron, in 2003; parents, Albert and Helen Bentley; and her brothers, Duane and Rod Bentley.

She is survived by Don (Peggy) Bentley, Diana Fetters, and Fred (Barbara) Bentley; her four children: Greggory (Amy) Cooper, Dagny (Dirk) Bogaard, Nathan (Cherry) Cooper, Nickola (Jennifer) Cooper; her step-children: Christy Amen, Kerri Gortemaker, Chad Dormann, and families. She was a proud grandmother of ten grandchildren: Veronica (Caleb) Harris, Martha (Henry) Fowler, Cora Cooper, Luke Bogaard, Max Cooper, Chance Cooper, Aaron Cooper, Sydney Cooper, Sunnie Cooper, and Sugar Cooper; and two great-grandchildren, who belong to Veronica and Caleb Harris:Validiana Harris and Virgil Harris.
