Linda Ann Andersen
Linda Ann Andersen (nee Haberkamp), 65, of Rolling Meadows, passed away peacefully Tuesday, August 19, 2025 surrounded by her family. She was born October 18, 1959 in Chicago, IL to the late Evelyn (nee Schweitzer) and Wilbert Haberkamp.
Linda was the wife of Donald Andersen; mother of Amanda Andersen, Jennifer (Chris Martin) Andersen, Emily (Luke) Klotzbach, and Rachel (Alex Smith) Andersen; grandmother of Delilah and John; and sister of Janet Sears and William Haberkamp.
Soon after high school, she started working as a vet technician where her love for animals grew. She was always known as an animal lover, where she would take in stray cats off the street and would love and nurture them unconditionally. Linda was very involved with her children’s lives. She volunteered at Kimball Hill for over 20 years, volunteered at dance shows, attended many of her daughters’ gymnastics meets, and even made Valentine’s Day cards for all the residents at the nursing home that Rachel works for. Her life advice for the world was “love, compassion, and kindness”. She said the most important thing in life was to love one another. Linda would always say “Don’t wish your life away.” Always be present in where you’re at: cherish the moments, whether it’s easy or hard. Linda will be remembered by her generosity, her love for animals, and her kindness.
