Linda Jane Thomas, 78, Lincoln, NE passed away, Friday December 5, 2025. She was born to Lucille M. (Carlson) Kerr and Raymond C. Kerr on October 15, 1947 in Lincoln. Linda was a 1965 High School graduate. She pursued multiple work careers over the years and retired from Hy-Vee in Lincoln.
Linda’s lifetime love for animals was enormous. From cats, dogs, birds, and the occasional porch party of racoons, opossums, stray cats and squirrels too. They were always drawn to her caring love for four legged creatures.
When not feeding her furry friends she enjoyed shopping, music of all kinds, classic movies, watching game shows. There was never a dull moment when spending time with Linda. Her witty personality and good sense of humor kept everyone on their toes.
Linda is survived by: her son Jason Thomas and his wife Jennifer Thomas of Foristell, MO; grandchildren Jacob Thomas and Jacie Thomas of Foristell, MO; sister Dianne Randall and her husband Michael of Douglas, NE; companion Terry Trost of Lincoln, NE; cousins, nephews, nieces, great-nephew, great-nieces, and her cat Trump.
Linda was preceded in death by; her husband Jacob E. Thomas, parents Lucille M. (Carlson)Kerr, and Raymond C. Kerr.
A family memorial/celebration of life will be held at a later date. Condolences may be left at trumpmemorials.com. Trump Funeral Services, 1600 West “O” Street, Lincoln.
I never expected that we wouldn’t have more time. I am grieving the loss of my sister and all of the lost time that we could have spent together.
I am so grateful for all of the good memories that we had growing up, from little girls into women. I am also very grateful that we got to spend time together, before Linda closed her eyes, in a peaceful sleep.
My heart is broken.
