Linda Ann Fullmer, formerly Liming, died on October 15, 2017 at her home, surrounded by loved ones. She was born on May 19, 1959 in Ames, Iowa. She fought hard against her cancer for over two and a half years, but she lost her battle. Linda was an amazing mother to her three girls, and a loving Nana to her 4 grandchildren. She always said she lived "many lives" because she always adapted to the adversity she faced, with great success. She was in sales and reality in her younger years and became a stay at home mom once her third daughter was born. During this time, she also started a catering business. Later, she decided to go back to college and achieved her degree in food science. She was hired straight out of college by Kemin Industries, and was with the Kemin Health company for 15 years, working her way from a scientist in the lab to becoming the Senior Vice President. She put everything she had into her job, and was able to travel the world. She loved what she did, and being able to help people.In 2015, Linda was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. She stayed on treatments and fought hard to be able to stay on this earth with her girls and their family. Everyone that saw her in the clinic or in life were always amazed and inspired by her positive attitude and grace as she made her way through her journey. Linda was an amazing cook, and her kids always looked forward to their traditional holiday meals, especially her homemade cheesecake on Christmas. She was also the best baker, as anyone that tasted her treats can attest to. She was a sewer and crafter, sewing her daughters matching dresses as little girls and crafting many beautiful things. Linda was very strong in her faith, and made amazing friends through her church bible studies. Her bright light and love shined on so many people.Linda is preceded in death by her parents Lenard and VeDonna Liming and her daughter, Brooke Fullmer.
