Acker, Linda L. (6 Apr 1946 – 20 Dec 2021)
Linda Lou Acker, 75, of Stanley, passed away on Monday, December 20, 2021, at
Mayo Health-Luther hospital Eau Claire. She was born on April 6, 1946, in
Waukesha to the late Roy Jarvey Kleist and Fern Bieganek [Cunningham). Linda was
raised by her loving grandparents Earl and Mildred Cunningham on the Cunningham
family farm south of Stanley. She went to Pleasant Valley School and later
Stanley High School. On August 2, 1969, she married the love of her life David
Acker.
Linda worked for Patrick Cudahy and Peter's Meat for a time. However, the heart
of Linda remained in being a homemaker and raising her family. She loved baking
and serving others. There was always a place at Dave and Linda's table for
everyone, especially with her rather large homemade biscuits and pies. She loved
gardening, homesteading and serving in the Nursing home ministry at church. She
worked a few years at Hutchinson's Technology in Eau Claire. She graduated from
Purpose Institute with her diploma in Foundational Ministerial Studies. She also
did home care for many in the area. Her passion was Jesus Christ and seeing all
her children, grandchildren and family live for God with all their hearts, soul,
strength and mind.
Linda is survived by her husband of 52 years, David of Stanley, six children:
Brenda (Eric) Bath of Greenfield; David (Heather) Acker Jr. of Elk Mound;
Bradley (Delaine) Acker of Thorp; Darla (Ryan) Demers of Pewaukee; Debby (Ben)
Kotvis of Sussex; and Dana (Matt) Engibous of Pewaukee. 18 grandchildren, two
great-grandchildren; her siblings: Roy (Rose Meyer) Kleist; Sandy Bieganek;
Virginia Kolter (Philip); Jeffrey Kleist (Colleen O'Heron); Cynthia Hetzel
(John, deceased), and preceded in death by Susan Kleist and James Kleist (Brenda
Koehler).
A funeral service will take place at 1 p.m. on Friday, December 31st at the
Abundant Life Pentecostal Church- Thorp with Pastor John Sindler officiating.
Burial will follow in Oakland Cemetery-Stanley. Visitation will be from 10 a.m.
