Linda Kay Niebur, daughter of Loin and Audrey Bowen, was born in Kansas City on February 11, 1944 and died peacefully after a long struggle with cancer on September 19, 2017. On Jan 17, 1970, she married Stephen Niebur, and they remained together for 47 happy years. After graduating Southwest High School, she began her first career as a dental assistant on the Plaza, doing this for a decade. Following her love of cosmetics and fashion, she changed careers in the early 1980s, working for a number of large department stores in Kansas City. When the family moved to Osceola, Iowa in 1988, she continued in this line of work at Osceola’s Gem Connection and several Des Moines stores. In her later years, she gave up the commute and enjoyed working at Flowers ‘N More in Osceola. “Adnil,” (a long-standing nickname) had many hobbies and interests, including reading British mysteries, cross stitching, drinking tea, and watching science fiction, mystery, and comedy TV marathons with her family. Her children inherited her love of all things British. She was also active in sports, playing soccer, golf, and bowling, appearing once on the game show Bowling for Dollars. Linda’s greatest quality was her compassion. She welcomed countless young people into her house, providing a safe place for friends of her children who lacked the stability she provided her own family. Everyone who knew her loved her, and her passing will be devastating for all her friends and family. Her generosity was notorious; she loved to shop for other people, giving beautiful and unique gifts from across the world. She loved travel, and particularly enjoyed recent trips to Hawaii and Ireland. She is survived by her husband, Stephen Louis Niebur from Osceola, IA, her son Chris and his wife Heather with their son Max from Austin, TX, another son Louis and his husband, David from Reno, NV, and her daughter Natalie and her husband, Mike and their two children, Lizzy and Violet from Hammond, IN. She is also survived by her sisters, Patricia Pope and Beverly Van Hercke, her brother Don Bowen, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her mother and father, her sister Shirley Walton, and her brother Mike Bowen.
