Linda R. Elstun

Linda Reymann Elstun passed away on Monday, September 7, 2026 in her home after a two year battle with cancer. She was preceded in death by her father, Carl and many beloved pets. She is survived by her mother, Selma, brother, KC (Lorance), husband, Mike, daughter, Haley (Scott), and four grandchildren, Wendy, Francis, Eddy, & George.

Linda was strong in every sense of the word. She was a dedicated and accomplished athlete. She also had amazing courage and fortitude. She was an artist, an animal lover, and gardener. She led by example and was not afraid to try new things. Her long career as a nurse spanned different fields and types of practice from emergency room to flight nursing to nurse anesthesia. She was always seeking to help others in life's most critical moments. Linda recognized the value in struggling and striving. Her remarkable life was a testament to her constant pursuit of excellence.

Despite constantly pushing herself, Linda was kind hearted, funny, and genial. She was a great companion, teacher and mentor. Her legacy will live on through the many lives she touched and people she impacted during her time with us.

Linda's life celebration open house will take place October 18, 2026 between 2 and 6 pm at Mike's Team Active Bikes on 22 West Michigan Ave in Battle Creek.  Arrangements by the Farley Estes Dowdle Funeral Home & Cremation Care, Richland Chapel.  Personal messages for the family may be placed at www.farleyestesdowdle.com.
