Linda A. Hendrix

Linda Annette Hendrix, 59, of Salina, KS and formerly of McPherson, KS, peacefully passed away on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, at Salina Regional Health Center.

She was born July 30, 1966, in McPherson, KS, the daughter of Lewis “Lew” L. and Marilyn E. (Sjogren) Hendrix. Linda graduated from McPherson High School in 1984 and continued her education at Sidney’s Hairdressing College, Hutchinson. She also received a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) degree and worked at area nursing homes. Later, she worked at Walmart.

Linda was a proud member of the Marquette American Legion #253 Auxiliary. In her younger years, she enjoyed bowling and shooting pool. Throughout her life, she found joy in crocheting, camping in Lindsborg, and the excitement of dirt track racing. She also had a special fondness for collecting stuffed animals—especially teddy bears. Above all, Linda cherished her family and loved being part of every family gathering. She was the go-to person for baking family birthday cakes, a tradition she embraced with love and care.

Survivors include her children, Krystal Hendrix (Jordon Hayden) of Salina, KS and Jesse Freeman (Amber Falk) of Tescott, KS; mother, Marilyn Hendrix of McPherson, KS; sister, Tracey (Robert) Miller of McPherson, KS; niece, Ashley (Jon) Bennett of Valley Center, KS; nephew, Taylor Miller of McPherson, KS; two grandchildren, Chance Betzner and Cadin Betzner; grandpups, Batty and Moka; grandcats, Ghost and Valö; and many extended family members, “adopted” children, and friends.

She was preceded in death by her father, Lew Hendrix, and uncle, Kenneth Sjogren.

A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be payable to Marilyn Hendrix (to help offset funeral expenses) in care of Stockham Family Funeral Home, 205 North Chestnut, McPherson, KS 67460.
