Lynda W.

Krake

With heavy hearts, we remember Lynda W. Krake, who passed away on October 30, 2026, at the age of 79. Born on July 5, 1947, Lynda found joy in photography, quilting, and handcrafts—ways of capturing beauty and creating something meaningful to share.

Lynda will be remembered for her love of needlepoint and the joy of sharing it with others through teaching. Her legacy lives on not only in the pieces she created, but also in the skills she passed along to others. Through the quilts she made for friends and family and the many hats she knitted for loved ones and for donation, she shared more than her talent—she shared warmth and care. These handmade gifts are lasting reminders of her generosity, each stitch a small part of the legacy she leaves behind.

Lynda leaves behind a large family to cherish her memory. Her absence leaves a space that words cannot fill, but the things she created and the memories of her life offer a lasting connection to her. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.

A celebration of Lynda’s life will be held at a later date—a time to gather, share memories, and honor the life and love she leaves behind. Please visit https://celebratinglynda.rsvpify.com and sign up to receive updates as plans for her celebration of life are shared.
