Linda graduated from Monroe City High School in class of 1963 and went on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree and Master’s Degree in Education (Mathematics) at Truman State University in Kirksville, MO.

Linda was an amazing educator, who taught math in the Kirksville School District and Hannibal Public Schools, where she spent most of her 25 year career. Following retirement, she taught at Moberly Area Community College, and continued tutoring math students for several years after.

Linda enjoyed spending time outdoors. Hiking and skiing excursions with her friends was something she enjoyed immensely. A voracious walker, Linda logged over twenty five thousand miles when she stopped counting.  She volunteered her time tirelessly, helping out at Douglas Community Center and the American Red Cross.  Linda's biggest love was her family.  She cherished every moment spent with her children and six grandsons, enjoying trips to the zoo, baseball games, and trail hikes.

Ms. Kuhlman was a faithful member of the First Christian Church in Hannibal.

Pallbearers will be her grandsons Christian Kuhlman, Cameron Hurt, Nathan Kuhlman, Andrew Hurt, Austin Neuweg and Aiden Neuweg.
