Linda Ongna

Linda Sue Ongna, 57, of Sheboygan Falls, met her Lord and Savior on Saturday, August 13, 2022, surrounded by her family at her home following a courageous battle with cancer.

Linda was born on June 3, 1965, in Sheboygan, daughter of Ronald and Marianne (Meerdink) Jensema.  She graduated from Sheboygan County Christian High School in 1983.  On January 24, 1987, she married Brian G.

Linda was then employed as a cook for Pine Haven Christian Communities for 12 years. She deeply enjoyed serving the residents. Linda found joy in baking homemade goods in her spare time for the residents to enjoy.

Linda was a faithful and lifelong member of Bethel Orthodox Presbyterian Church. Linda enjoyed baking, singing, craft shows, and especially spending time with her grandchildren, family, and friends.

Linda is survived by her husband of 35 years, Brian; her two daughters, Nicole Ongna of Belgium, and Jennifer (Noah) Johnson of Belgium; three grandchildren, Braylee, Cole, and Kade Johnson; her sister, Sally Jensema of Cedar Grove; two brothers, David (Linda) Jensema and Randy (Lynn) Jensema; and three sisters-in-law, Beth (Roy) Voskuil of Denmark, Bonnie (Lee) Tempas, and Barb (Dave) Tenpas.
