Lynda Sue Depew, 59, of Westmoreland, Kansas, passed away August 5, 2019, at Good Shepherd Hospice House, Manhattan.  Lynda fought a long, hard battle with cancer always keeping her chin up with a “let’s fight this” attitude right up to the last couple of months.

​Lynda was born August 31, 1959, at the Clay Center hospital, the daughter of Connie and Cecile “Sissy” Green Depew.  She attended grade school in Greenleaf and Wheaton.  She graduated from Onaga High School.  Lynda began working at the Westmoreland Community Care Home on June 1, 1977 in the office as an Administrative Assistant and as a Certified Nursing Aide.  She continued employment there for 42 years.

​In her early years, Lynda worked at Wheaton Mercantile and Louisville Bar and Grill.

​Lynda’s passions in life were caring selflessly for the young and old. She was always willing to provide transportation or what ever help she could supply.  Lynda loved her dogs, Muffin and Sweetie, both of which she adopted from residents’.  She even remembered family dogs at Christmas. Spending time with family and friends was important to her. She enjoyed traveling with her family and always offered a story or an opinion.  Lynda’s favorite past time was playing bingo with her favorite bingo pal, Nancy Kramer. She will be greatly missed by all who know and love her.

​Lynda was preceded in death by her parents, Connie and Sissy and her grandparents.  She is survived by her brother, Chuck (Barb) Depew of Wamego, niece Marissa (Shaun) Ostrander of Roeland Park, nephew Brandon (Ashely) Depew of Abilene and great nephews Camden, Casen, and Calen.

​Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 am, Saturday, August 31, 2019, at St. Columbkille’s Catholic Church in Blaine, Kansas. Father Mike Peterson and Father Anthony Chendumalli will be Co-Celebrants.  Following the mass, a Celebration birthday party for Lynda will be in the church hall.  In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to Westmoreland Community Care Home or the Blaine Parish Project and those may be sent in care of Campanella-Kufahl Funeral Home.
