Linda Lou Hartmann, 77, of Manchester, Mich., passed away Thursday, September 26, 2024, at Hospice House of Shiawassee County. Linda’s family and friends will gather Friday, October 11, 2024, from 4pm to 8pm at Eineder Funeral Homes — Manchester Chapel. A private interment of ashes will be held at a later date.

She was born on March 16, 1947, in Ann Arbor, Mich., to Emerson and Alice (Wetherbee) Wiedmeyer. Linda married the late James Hartmann on October 16, 1982. They had 17 wonderful years together before his passing in 2000. She will be remembered for her devotion to her daughter, Heather, and her grandchildren. Linda loved to be around horses and go horseback riding. She suffered for many years with COPD, which limited her activity. Linda became a very private person that kept to herself. She enjoyed her regular lunch dates with special classmates over the years. Linda also enjoyed watching the local sports games on television with her beloved fur companion, Fancy. She had many friends and neighbors who checked on her often. Linda will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is survived by her children, Robert (Lisa) Hartmann, son-in-law, Steve Feldkamp, and Cheryl (Dorin) Smith; a sister-in-law, Kathy Wiedmeyer; several grandchildren, Zach (Kadie) Hartmann, Zoe Hartmann, Jessica and Bradley Feldkamp, and Cody Smith; and two great-grandchildren, Blakely and Judah Hartmann.
