Linda Rumback

Linda Marie (Sandvil) Rumback passed from this world October 13, 2022, at 63 years of age. As most who knew her were aware, she had been ill for some time, and her passing was expected.

She was born in September of 1959, to Joseph Jr. and Sheila Sandvil, in Highland Falls, New York. Born into a military family, her early childhood was spent at Clark Air Base in the Philippines.

She attended high school in Dunedin, Florida, where she graduated in 1979. She worked as a florist until her marriage to Jim Rumback in 1986. To this marriage were born four children.

After moving from Georgia to Kansas, she began to work for Oakley Public Schools in the cafeteria, where she made ¬life-long friends. Many may remember stopping for a hug as they grabbed their milk in the lunch line.

In 2009, she became seriously ill and faced a lengthy hospitalization, which saw an incredibly generous outpouring of thoughtfulness and kindness from the community.

Linda spent most of the last decade residing at the Logan County Manor, where she saw many friends come and go. Our family could not be more grateful for the care she received from the staff at the Logan County Manor and hospice, as well as from her personal physician, Dr. Herscher.

She is preceded in death by her parents, and more recently, by her younger brother, Mark Sandvil.

She leaves behind her spouse, James Rumback, daughter Mollie and husband Bryan Kough, of Dighton, Kansas; son Alexander and wife Kendra Rumback, of Spruce Pine, North Carolina; and daughters Heidi and husband Dakota Pannell and Floralee and husband Ryan Samut Tagliaferro, of Duncan, Oklahoma. She also leaves behind her grandchildren Logan, Sawyer, and Rory Kough; Owen and Daphne Rumback; Isaac Rumback; and Lexis Glassman and Levi Samut Tagliaferro.

A Memorial Mass will take place at 10:00 a.m. Friday, November 25, 2022, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, Oakley, KS, with inurnment in the church cemetery. For information or condolences visit www.baalmannmortuary.com
