Linda Marie (Roudybush) Hensley, 74, of Louisville, Kansas, passed away on January 23, 2026, at Via Christi Hospital, Manhattan, Kansas.
Linda was born October 12, 1951, in Onaga, Kansas, to parents Charles Evert and Ruth Jean (Teter) Roudybush. She was raised in Onaga and attended Pottawatomie County public schools, graduating with the Class of 1965.
Linda earned her Certified Dietary Manager through Auburn University in 1998. She dedicated many years of service to caring for others through her work with the elderly and healthcare setting. She worked for 17 years at the Good Samaritan Valley Vista senior care in Wamego, Kansas. Afterwards, she worked at the Wamego Health Center for two years.
Linda loved her family deeply and treasured every moment spent with them. She had a big heart and would help anyone in need. Her hobbies brought her great joy and included cooking, fishing, collecting antiques, attending auctions, sewing, gardening, and canning. Her favorite place to be was gathered around the table with her family--sharing meals, laughter, and stories. Those moments defined who she was: loving, generous, and full of warmth.
Linda was first married to Jack Larry Parker in 1973, and from this union one son, Larry Jack Parker, was born. She later married Paul Hensley in 1987.
Linda will be greatly missed by her son Larry Parker; sister-in-laws Elizabeth and Bonnie Roudybush; and three generations of nieces, nephews, and friends.
Linda was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Charles, Gary, and Ralph Roudybush; and husbands.
