Linda Adwell

Linda Sue Adwell, 62, of Valley Center, passed away peacefully on Wednesday Nov 4, 2026, at  home surrounded by family. She was born August 18, 1964 in Colby, KS to the late John and Agnes Urban. She married the love of her life, Douglas Leroy Adwell, on December 31, 1987.

Linda graduated from Colby Community College with an optometric technician degree in 1985, and worked at an optometrist office for 4 years, where she met her husband before going to work for a pediatrician. Later, she ran an at-home daycare for many years and loved caring for children. 

She enjoyed spending time with her family, especially on the boat at the lake. She loved Christmas lights, flower gardening, and helping friends when they were in need. She was also expecting a grandchild early next year, who she would have spoiled rotten!

She is survived by her husband, Douglas; two sons, Darren Adwell of Chicago and Logan (Taylor) Adwell of Wichita; one daughter, Denae Adwell of Valley Center; two sisters, Christine Belknap and Marlene (Len) Ritnour; and three brothers, Danny Urban, Marvin (Martina) Urban, and Rocky Urban, along with countless nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will greatly miss her.

A memorial service celebrating Linda’s life will be held on Monday, November 16th, at 11:00am at LifePoint Church in Valley Center, KS. We invite all who knew and loved Linda to join us in honoring her memory.
