November 28, 1949 ~ June 22, 2020
Born in: Bryan, Tx
Resided in:
Montgomery, Tx
Linda Kay (Bomnskie) Castoria-Roedel, 70, of Montgomery, TX, formerly of Bryan, went to be with her Heavenly Father on Monday, June 22, 2020.
Linda was born in Bryan to Minnie Luther and Henry Kizer Bomnskie, Jr. the youngest of four children. She graduated in 1968 from Stephen F. Austin High School. She started her career as a legal secretary.
In 1983, she joined the Brazos County Rape Crisis Center as a volunteer. Soon after, she became its first executive director. Linda would lead the center for twenty-two years. She was a pioneer in victim’s advocacy and through her efforts, countless lives were touched and forever changed. In 2005, she met and later married the love of her life, Dave. She then moved to Montgomery, Texas to pursue a secondary career in real estate together with him.
Linda will be forever remembered for her infectious laugh, positive outlook on life, listening ear, caring heart, and willingness to share her wisdom. She was unapologetically herself. She was so proud of her Polish heritage and is no doubt playing a mean game of 42 in heaven with her daddy.
She is preceded in death by her parents and a brother, Johnny Edward Bomnskie.
Linda’s memory will live on through her loving husband, Dave; her children Stephanie and Donnie Manry, Alisha and Craig Kuhl, Devaron and Jami Roedel, and Jason Roedel; her grand angels Colby Fagan, Chelsea and Hank Walshak, Haley Manry, Sidney Criddle, Carson and Collin Kuhl, Mareesa Pederson and Joey, and Kyle Roedel; her great-grand angels Tyson, Garrison, Karson, and soon-to-be born Avery and Reid; a sister, Carolyn Lucas; a brother, Kenneth Bomnskie; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and close friends.
In an abundance of caution related to COVID-19, there will not be a service at this time.
In lieu of flowers, the family wishes that you would make a donation to “Linda’s Legacy” at the Brazos County Rape Crisis Center dba SARC (Sexual Assault Resource Center) to honor her life-long passion of helping others.

Sweet Stephanie and Alicia…my heart hurts for you! I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED your beautiful Momma! What precious memories I will forever cherish of our times together! I am covering you and your family in love and prayer!! Cindi Scofield
Dear Alicia,
I am so sorry to hear about your mother. She was such a nice person. My favorite memory of her is when she would tell her little dog Sammy to smile and she would spray that breath fresher in his mouth. We would laugh so hard. I am praying for you and your family that God will give you strength during this difficult time.
God Bless and keep you.
Her son-in-law Craig, is my best friend. I only met her a handful of times and she was always very sweet and nice to me, and I’ll remember her smile. Despite not knowing her well, I can tell you one thing I did know about her, she loved those grandkids. Thoughts and prayers for you all.
Praying for the entire family!
Gob bless her and her family.
We will miss that beautiful, infectious smile and send our deepest sympathies and prayers to Dave and her family. I do believe Linda originally coined the term “Grand Angel” and she loved hers so deeply.
I am so sorry to read about this. I volunteered for many years at the SARC, called the Rape Crisis Center back then. Linda was an amazing director and I am glad to have known her.
With love,
Robin
My heart and prayers for all the family and friends. Dave, I know the pain you are going through, but I also know that Linda would want you to keep living. I’ll always remember Linda’s laughter & the great love she had for you & her family!
Very sweet lady. RIP enjoy heaven.
We’re very sorry for your loss. Remember that you were loved and all the joy she brought everyone around her.
So very sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. I am “Wishing you peace To bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead, and loving memories to forever hold in your heart”. Sending thoughts and prayers to you and family.
Linda Salvato
Linda had a true God’s Spirit & her dedication will always be remembered. May God hold Dave & the children in the palm of his hands.

My heart and thoughts are with you. I know you loved your mom fiercely and will definitely feel sad for awhile but, like her, you are a strong survivor! Take care of yourself and loved ones…each day is a gift.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I enjoyed talking with Linda and Dave at social gatherings. May your memories continue to warm your heart.
Our deepest sympathy and sending our love and prayers, to the Bomnskie family, Carolyn and Kenneth, we remember all of you when we were all growing up, going to Confirmation at old Bethel Lutheran church…then have grown up Jerry kept up with Johnny, we always had good times, of course Linda was so young then we were the teenagers!!! God Bless all the Castoria-Roedel families and especially Linda’s family, she was a super-hero and it was her legacy the Brazos Co. Rape Crisis Center….Blessings, & all our love, Jerry & Lillian (Surovik) Beasley
Dear family, Our thoughts & prayers are with you all at this sad time. This world has lost a wonderful person. I’m sorry we didn’t have the opportunity to know all of Linda’s family. I’m certain they’re caring & loving people like her. We did know Linda & Dave very well for many years. They were & still are very good friends of ours. We worked together in RE at KW. We’ve shared many great times together & treasure them all. I had so much respect & admiration for Linda. We pray God will bless and give you comfort in the days ahead & please know others are praying for you. We loved her very much.
