Linda was born on December 22, 1969 in St. Cloud, MN to James and MaryAnn (Ludwig) Fasbender. She grew up near Roscoe and attended Paynesville schools. She married Scott Liebl on August 18, 1990 at St. Louis Catholic Church in Paynesville. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the College of St. Scholastica in 1991 and her Masters degree from St. Cloud State University in 1998.
Linda worked at the College of St. Scholastica as a Library and Reference Assistant and taught at Rush City Public School as a K-12 Media Specialist. She spent most of her career at the ROCORI School District from 1992-2018 as a Media Specialist, Technology Coordinator, English Teacher, Knowledge Bowl coach, Yearbook Advisor, RMS Golf coach, dance chaperone and most importantly as the Chairperson for the Committee for Uplifting Spirits and Boosting of Morale!
Linda also served as Sts. Peter and Paul Parish religious education instructor, St. Louis Parish lector and adoration and on Koronis Hills Board of Directors. She loved to read, write, play piano, garden, bicycle, paddle board and was involved in Ladies golf league, Saturday morning golf league, Friday Mahjong Club, Tuesday Friends on Bikes Club and ROCORI Book Club.
Linda would like to be remembered as “a child-like child of God, loving wife, kooky mom, bubbly teacher, true friend, spunky golfer who hid gnomes in trees, rabid reader, and otherwise unique woman who left goofy smiles and raised eyebrows in her wake”!
Linda is survived by her husband Scott, her sons Mack (Naomi) of Pasadena, CA and Benjamin of Brookings, SD, her sister Patti Fasbender, her brother Joe (Christina) Fasbender and many nieces and nephews.
Preceding Linda in death were her parents James and MaryAnn, her infant sister Amy and father-in-law John.
Our family is eternally grateful for the overwhelming display of prayer, love, and support from our beautiful network of family and friends and will do our very best to pay it forward!
A special thank you to the wonderful care received at CentraCare Paynesville and Coborn’s Cancer Center which allowed us to enjoy Linda’s antics for many additional years!
In lieu of flowers or statuaries, Linda had requested memorials to ROCORI Dollars for Scholars c/o Roz Jungels. A link to their page can be found here.

Dear Patty(and family), Scott and the boys, we are sorry for your loss. Such a beautiful obituary which described her so well. Please take care of each other, especially in the near future. This next part can be hard. Love the Minette’s
Dan and I honor your remarkable spirit!
It is so hard to fathom that Linda is no longer with us. She was unique, kind to the core, funny, smart, beautiful and so loving. The minute she started dating Scott we became double daters right away. The love and spark she had with Scott was a one of a kind type of love. The kind of love we all search for in life. I loved my dear friend Linda and my heart feels sad and broken. I especially feel so much empathy for Scott and the boys. They had the most loving wife and mama. They were lucky to have her in their lives. I also feel for Linda’s siblings. The sadness all the family is experiencing is horrible. I do know, like Scott said, she is in a better place. The class of 88’ also know that she was a one of a kind and touched ALL of our lives! Love ya Linda… forever!
May Linda’s memory be for a blessing.
Dear Scott and Boys, we were lucky to know her, and experience her joy! I can’t fathom your sadness, I wish you Love and Peace of mind.

Scott and boys: My heart goes out to all of you at this time. I know it has been a long journey for all of you. But it sounds like a very loving and moving journey as well. May God continue to bless you all as you go on without the physical presence of Linda. But knowing her, she will make her spiritual presence known to all of you. We all know where she is, now, don’t we? Faithfu servant that she was.
