Linda Sue Kohlrus, age 69 of Ellis, Kansas died Tuesday, December 10, 2024, at Trego County Lemke Memorial Hospital - WaKeeney.

She was born December 23, 1954, in Hays, Kansas to Irvin and Lucille (Herl) Toepfer. In November of 1974 she was united in marriage to Terry Kohlrus at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church – Hays.

Linda was a loving and devoted homemaker and cherished the time she spent with family, especially her grandchildren.  She was a sucker for a good Hallmark movie, particularly during the Christmas season.
