M. Broeckel, 64, Minot, died Tuesday, August 18, 2009 in a Minot
hospital.
Linda Mae Broeckel was born September 14, 1945 in Bismarck,
ND, to Samuel and Ida (Heinle) Broeckel. She attended Bismarck
Public Schools and graduated in 1961
In 1965 she moved to Minot to manage the Capri Restaurant. She
began her career in health care in 1970, and continued until
a cancer diagnosis forced her to retire in 2008. She loved her
job and had a special devotion to her patients and their families.
She made many sacrifices to make sure that her immediate and
extended families never went without.
Linda was active in First Presbyterian Church, where she was
a life-long member, joining in 1957. She served as a Sunday school
teacher, an usher, and was a member of the ladies group. She
was always active in her children's lives, including scouts where
she served as scout leader, attending school events, sports and
band. Linda was a devoted mother and grandmother. Family was
the most important thing in her life. She was especially proud
when her granddaughters, Kendall and Erika were born. She loved
family gatherings and enjoyed baking and cooking for friends
and family. She always had the coffee pot on and enjoyed visiting
with everyone. No one was a stranger at her house. When you came
to visit, you never left without having a pleasant conversation
and something to eat. She was very giving, kind and compassionate
to all who knew her. She will be deeply missed.
