Linda Lou Naasz was born March 13, 1951 to Robert and Betty (Feichtner) Jones in Mobridge. She grew up and attended school in Mobridge. Linda worked many years as a waitress at the Gay Time, Brown Palace Lounge and the Embers Fireside. She was working as a waitress at the Fireside when she met Daniel Naasz. She and Daniel were married on August 22, 1981 in Mobridge. Over the years, Linda worked various jobs including; residential cleaning services, In Home Health Care, Moose and Payless Foods. The most rewarding part of her life was caring for her grandchildren on a regular basis.
Her heart and joy were her grandkids, they enjoyed coming to Grandma and Grandpas for sleep overs, sweets, games and swimming in the backyard which she made sure to put up the pool every year. She was an amazing cook. She never used a recipe and her children could never duplicate any of her dishes when asking her for a recipe she always said "A little of this and a little of that". There are no words or expressions to adequately describe who she really was. As a devoted wife, mother, grandma (nana), great grandma, sister, no one can ever fill her shoes.
Linda enjoyed gardening where there was always a beautiful display of her rose bush and plants every year. Her passions included family gatherings every year in August, holiday decorating especially Halloween which included a big Halloween display each year. Her joy showed through her constant smiling, laughter, sense of humor and the family prankster will never be forgotten.
