Linda Elaine Fecteau

Linda Fecteau, age 79, passed away unexpectedly on December 6, 2025 at Via Christi Village Rehabilitation Center. Linda spent most of her life living in Manhattan. She had a caring nature which led her into heath care of others. After receiving her Practical Nurse license, Linda worked several years at Irwin Army Hospital at Fort Riley and the VA Hospital in Topeka. After retirement, she continued to work at various health care facilities in the region. 

Linda often surprised friends and neighbors with small gifts she thought they might enjoy. 

Linda met her husband Ron Fecteau on a blind date; they were married for 58 years. She and Ron enjoyed antique shopping, often traveling to other states to browse in antique stores to add to their collections. 

Linda is preceded in death by her parents, Orville and Lenora Livingston, husband Ron, son Paul, and brother Charles Livingston. 

She is survived by her daughter-in-law Keli Huddleston, Elizabeth Fecteau, two sisters Nelda Fecteau and Laurel Erickson, her many family members and friends, and her canine companion Prince. 

Graveside service will be held at Sunrise Cemetery in Manhattan at a later date. Irvin Parkview Funeral Home is assisting the family with service arrangements. 

The family suggests memorial contributions in memory of Linda to the Riley County Humane Society or a charity of one's choice. Contributions may be sent in the care of Irvin Parkview Funeral Home, 1317 Poyntz Avenue, Manhattan, Kansas 66502
