Linda S. Rothlisberger
July 8, 1949 – August 2, 2025
Linda Rothlisberger, lovingly known as Linda, Wife, Mom, Sister, and Granny, passed away in Omaha, Nebraska, after a life filled with strength, love, and unwavering dedication to her family. Born in Columbus, Nebraska, Linda spent her life building a legacy defined by hard work, honesty, and heart.
She shared 56 beautiful years of marriage with her husband, Keith, a partnership grounded in commitment, resilience, and love. Over the years, Linda took on many professions and was truly a busy body in the best sense — always moving, always helping, always creating. Whether it was taking care of the household, crafting beautiful pieces of ceramics, or diving headfirst into any task that needed doing, Linda brought both talent and tenacity to everything she touched.
Linda was a woman of strength. Tough, straightforward, and never afraid to tell it like it is. But beneath that grit was a deep well of love, care, and fierce loyalty. She valued her family above all else, and those who knew her felt the warmth of her heart through every meal made, every phone call returned, and every moment shared.
She was deeply loved by all who knew her as a wife, mother, sister, and Granny. Her presence filled a room, and her spirit filled the hearts of those she loved. Her legacy will live on in the countless lives she touched and the family she cherished so deeply.
Preceded in death by grandson, Alexander Castillo, brother, Gene Graham, sister, Barbara Jones, her parents; and beloved dog, Bodie.
Survived by husband of 56 years, Keith, children, Jeff Rothlisberger (Donna), Julie Rothlisberger-Castillo, MD (Jose), grandchildren, Juliana (Dylan), Nate, Madison, Bianca (Jack), Corina (Tommy), Nick, Abigail, Javier, and Matteo, brothers, Michael and Patrick.

Sending my love and condolences to Bianca and the whole family.
I am at such a loss for words. I cannot tell you how much Linda impacted me and my life. She was a mom to me when my mom couldn’t be one, she included me on more than one family dinner night throughout the years, she made me laugh at her stories and always made me feel like I was part of the family. I know this loss feels far and wide. Julie, my heart is breaking for your family. I know how important both you and Jeff were to her.
Sending all my love and the deepest of condolences.

My sincere sympathy to the entire Rothlisberger family. I worked with Linda years ago at Bakers. I have never met someone with a greater work ethic and drive to accomplish any goal she set for herself. She was always very proud and loved her family. You all were a favorite topic for her. I will always be grateful for the impact she had on me and will remember her always fondly. I truly hope her memory soon brings you a smile to your face instead of a tear to your eye.
I was so shocked to read of Linda’s passing. What a truly remarkable woman. A woman of many talents and unwavering love for her family and friends. God bless her. My thoughts are with her family. Know that she will always watch over her you. She was a force to be reckoned with and am so happy I could call her my friend
Keith & family. I just found out (28 Aug) and I am so sorry for your loss. You all are in my thoughts and prayers I didn’t know Linda well, but I do know she was a hard worker and told it like it was. A great lady who loved her family. May she rest in peace.
