Born June 18, 1960 in Marshall, she was the daughter of the late Henry Clay and Lela Mae Edge Mead. On July 5, 1986 in Hershey, Pennsylvania – as was her childhood dream – she married Floyd Alsbach, and he survives of the home.

Also surviving are a son, Jack Alsbach and his wife Claire of Kansas City; a daughter, Hannah Duran and her husband Brandon of Kansas City; five grandchildren, Luca Clay Duran, Fletcher Duran, Coraline Alsbach, Annie Mae Alsbach, and Charles Henry Alsbach; a brother, Sam Mead and his wife Beth of Columbia; and many nieces and nephews.

Mrs. Alsbach was a member of St. Peter Catholic Church in Marshall. She was a 1978 graduate of Marshall High School, and a 1982 graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia, with a degree in Graphic Design. During her high school and college years, she worked at her parents’ business, Clay Mead Furniture in Marshall. Later, she touched the lives of countless children, as she taught Art and was a volunteer librarian at St. Peter Catholic School, she was a Kindergarten aide, and later a Special Education aide at Northwest Elementary School. She enjoyed graphic design, and art using bright colors, creating personalized banners, signs, gifts, and pictures; all which could be found on her lovely website Bananas & Macaroni. Lynda believed her greatest role was being Bambi/Gran to her five grandbabies.
