Linda was born in Pierre, SD on November 8 ^th , 1950, to Clifford "Kip" and Elizabeth "Betty" Ogan. Linda was raised in Blunt, SD where she began her education and graduated from Blunt High School in 1969.  Linda met the love of her life Robert "Bob" Cleberg, at Cottonwood Lake at the age of 14 years old.  They united in marriage at St. Bernard Catholic Church in Redfield on July 5 ^th , 1969.  They went on to be married for 51 years. Linda worked alongside Bob their entire lives, whether it was in the field or at the elevator.  With this union came their first child Jason Robert (Jay Bob) born on January 20 ^th , 1973, and on April 15 ^th , 1976, Shannon Elizabeth (Greta Belle) was born.

One of Linda's biggest accomplishments was being a mother.  She did this not out of obligation but because of who she was.  Linda was always the first to offer help and guidance with her compassionate spirit and endless drive to fix anything.  Linda spread her compassionate spirit at the Eastern Star Nursing Home, where she and Bob also worked together.  Linda usually could be found at the lake spending time with family, doing yard work - mostly mowing, any kind of home construction, or cruising the streets of Redfield in her golf cart.  Linda loved absolutely everyone, but most importantly was her family. Her life was devoted to her children and grandchildren.

Linda is survived by son Jason (Shawn) Cleberg of Aberdeen, SD and their children Allie and Carson; daughter Shannon Thomas and her children Jakob, Caleb, and Elijah; brother Jerry Ogan of Pierre, SD; and Bob's son Jay (Vickie) Stenslie of Maple Grove, MN and their children Nick, Evan, and Lauren.  Linda is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Linda is preceded in death by her loving husband Bob, parents Kip and Betty Ogan, mother-in-law Isabelle, and father-in-law Frances.
