Linda Liupakka

Linda Liupakka, age 59, died on February 10, 2025 in her home in Roseville, MN. 

Linda was born on September 15, 1965 to Carol and Dale Liupakka in Duluth, MN. Carol was overjoyed to finally have a baby girl. Growing up, Linda enjoyed sports, even playing hockey on the boys' team. She graduated from Lincoln High School in Esko, MN. After graduating from St. Catherine University, she pursued her career in oncology nursing. 

Linda was non-judgmental, quick thinking, and cared deeply. These characteristics contributed to her skill as a cancer nurse and as the unofficial neighborhood nurse. 

She loved making massive bonfires, enjoyed (screaming) watching the Minnesota Vikings play, and was a Diet Coke fanatic. 

She is survived by her children, Brittany (Will) Kimball, Andrew Kimball, and David Kimball; her mother, Carol Liupakka; her brothers, Pete (Liz) Liupakka and Phil (Cyndy) Liupakka; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. They miss her so much.

She was preceded in death by her father, Dale Liupakka.

Memorial service 11:00 AM Wednesday, February 19, 2025 at Central Lutheran Church, 333 South 12th St., Minneapolis. Visitation will be held at the church from 10-11 AM Wednesday.
