Linda Kay Covert, age 78, passed away on July 6, 2025. Visitation will be held Monday July 14th from 1-2 PM at Johnson County Funeral Chapel and Memorial Gardens, 11200 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park, Kansas 66210, with Funeral Service following at 2 PM, and burial at 3 PM.

Linda was born in Iola, Kansas on April 26, 1947 at St. John's Hospital to Harry and Marjorie (Sharpsteen) Strack. She graduated from Shawnee Mission North High School in 1967. She received an Associate of Arts Degree in 2005 and Associate of Applied Science Degree in 2006 both from Johnson County Community College.

After moving back to Shawnee, she worked at Home Depot for 17 years, where she appreciated her coworkers and managers.

Faith was a large part of Linda's life. She became a member of Antioch Family Worship Center in 2002. She was committed to her bible study and found comfort and strength in her Daily Devotions. She supported numerous charitable causes over the years in order to make the world a better place. She was a dedicated caregiver for her mother, Marjorie Strack, from 1994 until her death in 2013. This was a labor of love she found to be truly satisfying.

Linda loved scuba diving and traveled to many locations to dive and especially enjoyed Mexico and the Bahamas. She enjoyed her life on the 10 acre farm outside of Harrison, Arkansas. There she raised chickens, guinea fowl, goats and calves. Her dog and cat companions brought her joy. Linda is survived by her brothers Edward Leroy, Jerry Lee, and Ronald Strack. 

Linda will be remembered for her Love of God and caring nature. Memorial contributions can be made, in her name, to Antioch Family Worship Center at 5201 Antioch Road, Mission, Kansas 66202.
