Omaha – Linda P. Krause-Shallberg was born February 17, 1942, in Omaha, Nebraska, to Harry and Viola Peterson.  Linda was the “middle” child of 3 – a sister 2 years older and another 9 years younger (who always was sure to remind her that she was the younger one!).

When Linda was an older elementary student, once a week a church bus took her and her friends into Benson.  Several adults would share Bible stories, scriptures and sing Bible songs at The Good News Club.  This is where Linda asked JESUS into her heart and that day Linda’s name was written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. From there Linda became a Sunday school teacher in addition to educating children in the Omaha Public School System.

Linda graduated from Benson High School in 1960 and attended the University of Nebraska at Omaha where she received a Bachelor of Education degree in 1964 and later earned her Master’s Degree in Education. She taught at Adams School with Omaha Public Schools from 1964 to 1969. She was a principal at Washington Elementary School for 28 years before retiring in June of 1997.

Linda married Royal (Buz) Krause on December 28, 1974. They were married 22 years until his death in November 1997. Later, she married Dale Shallberg on September 27, 2008. They were married 13 years, traveling and helping with the Owl group at their church until his death on March 14, 2022.

In her spare time, Linda enjoyed entertaining and was a wonderful and detailed hostess.  Linda had the gifts of hospitality and communicating through NUMEROUS cards and letters.  She filled people’s lives through messages of congratulations, encouragement, hope, sympathy, and love, all stemming from the love of JESUS in her heart.  She developed a love of painting both pictures and greeting cards.

She loved spending her summers with trips to Peterson’s Paradise cabin on Long Lake in Park Rapids, MN, which eventually became The Krause Kottage. In her later years she became a caretaker to both of her parents and both of her husbands.

December 2, 1961 – August 10, 2022

On Wednesday August 10, 2022, Workinesh Tsetarge Admasu, age 60, laid to rest. Wearing her beautiful traditional Ethiopian dress, her peaceful demeanor betrayed a life of hardship, endurance, and triumph. At the age of 15, Workinesh left her home village in Northern Ethiopia to escape an abusive arranged marriage, and arrived at the capital of Addis Ababa, where she remarried and became a loving mother of five boys. During her life, she overcame homelessness, civil war, famine and the political imprisonment of her husband before eventually immigrating and becoming a citizen of the United States. For over 15 years, she worked at Anthony’s Restaurant, bussing tables and bringing joy to people trying to understand her English laced with her native tongue. The fruits of her toil and sacrifice as an immigrant lives on in her children’s accomplishments in education, business and in building their own families. She is survived by her mother Webet; her siblings: Beletu and Tageng; her husband John; her five sons: Mulugeta (Weinshet), Buey (Mariana), Rom, Beny and Zakarias; and her four grandsons. While her life journey was filled with challenges, Workinesh leaves behind a memory of love and devotion to everyone she has come across. May she rest in peace.

 Religious service on Saturday, August 13, 9am at Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahed church (4932 Ohio St.), followed by a procession and burial ceremony, 12pm at Evergreen Memorial Park Cemetery (2300 S. 78th St.)
