Linda met the love of her life, Perry Kuhl, and the two were united in marriage on Oct. 7, 1983, at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Ida Grove. Together, they built a beautiful life and were blessed with three children: Dustin, Nicole, and Christopher.

Linda had a warm, joyful spirit that drew people to her wherever she went. She made friends effortlessly and loved bringing laughter to others with her jokes and vibrant personality with a colorful wardrobe to match. She found great joy in spending time with her children and grandchild, cooking and baking, watching The Wizard of Oz, golfing, and creating all kinds of craft projects. Linda was also a dedicated and hardworking employee; no matter the position, she always strived to do her very best.

Linda will be remembered for her kindness, humor, creativity, and the love she shared so freely with family and friends.
