Linda Epperson

In Loving Memory of Linda M. Epperson

January 3, 1959 – November 11, 2026

Linda passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, laughter, and unwavering love for her family.

Born on January 3, 1959, in Topeka, Kansas, Linda was the cherished daughter of Joyce and Robert Emig. She grew up in Wichita, Kansas, where she graduated from Southeast High School before entering the workforce. She spent her career working in data entry.

Family was always at the center of her heart. She held onto cherished memories of visiting the family farms in Goodland and spending quality time with her family. Throughout her life, Linda was best known for her gentle, unassuming kindness. She had a quiet way of looking out for the people in her life, finding joy in supporting others through everyday acts of care.

She had a bright, creative, and adventurous spirit. She loved getting lost in a good book, going to concerts, enjoying a fun day of shopping, and heading to craft shows with her sister. Linda also found great joy in the outdoors, creating lasting memories while camping and relaxing at the lake. Above all else, her greatest devotion was to her family. She was the absolute best mother and grandmother, dedicating her heart and energy to her two sons and three grandchildren.

Linda was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Joyce Emig. She will be forever remembered and deeply missed by her father, Robert Emig of Wichita; her sister, Beverly (Steve) Fitch of Wichita; her sons, Blake (Melissa) Epperson of Fishers, IN, and Riley (Amber) Epperson of Lawrence, KS; her grandchildren, Dean, Isaac, and Valerie; and her nephew, Cody Fitch of Wichita; along with an extended network of family and dear friends.

A celebration of Linda’s life will be held November 23, 2026 from 1:00 - 3:00 at Cozine Life Events Center at 11500 E. 21st St. N., Wichita, KS 67206. Family and friends are invited to gather to honor her memory, share stories, and celebrate the remarkable person she was. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made in Linda’s honor to the Cure IBM Research Fund at cureibm.org/donate.
