Linda L.
Selman-Henningan
Sep 3, 1944 — Oct 18, 2022
Fairview
Linda Lou Selman-Hennigan, 78, passed away October 18, 2022 at her home near Fairview,
KS.
Linda started life in Hiawatha, KS born to Francis Selman Sr. and Dorothy Jordan-Selman at
home on September 3, 1944 at a mere 4 pounds.
She was a graduate of the Hiawatha High School class of 1962. On July 25, 1964 she united in
marriage with Glenn Hennigan, who survives of the home.
She was a farm wife and took joy in motherhood to her and Glenn's 4 children. Her home was a
place where nieces and nephews took refuge. She worked alongside Glenn, often running
tillage equipment, keeping farm books, or maintaining the garden. Over the years, she canned
and cooked many, many meals and was very-good at saving. Off-farm she worked at Kroger
Variety, United Telephone, and the Hiawatha Sale Barn. Bowling was her favorite hobby.
Later in life, she enjoyed scavenging for pottery and researching its history and value. Always
up for a puzzle, she also enjoyed communicating with distant family online. She lit up for the
opportunity to spend time with littles, especially her grandkids in their early years.
Linda is survived by husband, Glenn; Children: Cindy (Ed) Lawson of Wakarusa, KS, Lori (Troy)
Tinklin of Sabetha, KS, Jim (Sheila) Hennigan of Highland, KS, Travis (Lynn) Hennigan of
Sabetha, KS; Grandchildren: Eli Lawson, Britney Tinklin, Isaac Tinklin, Colby Tinklin, Megan
(Matt) Sommers, McKinley Hennigan, Jace Hennigan, Mya Hennigan, Morgan Hennigan, Anna
Hennigan, William Hennigan; Great-Grandkids: Evelynn Tinklin, Vanna Tinklin. Sister-in-Laws:
Raylene Selman, Charlotte Selman, Beverly Selman.
She was preceded in death by her parents and all 9 siblings, brothers – Francis Jr.,

and Rosetta Gurney.
Arrangements were by Chapel Oaks Funeral Home, Hiawatha, KS. There was a Celebration of
Life service for Linda at the Fairview Community Building on November 26, 2022 officiated by
Pastor Keith Huffman. A potluck meal was enjoyed by all. Internment will be at the Isley
