Linda Mae Laws, daughter of Richard and Rosella (Stigman) Kinnetz, was born June 8, 1946 in Emmetsburg, Iowa. She received her education in the Emmetsburg school system.

On December 23, 1966, Linda was united in marriage to Ronald E. Laws at Bethany Lutheran Church in Emmetsburg. To this union two children were born. Ron and Linda made their home in Emmetsburg where Linda was employed at several businesses in the area, some of which included Berkley's, Casey's, S.N.C., and various restaurants in town where she enjoyed serving and visiting with customers.

Linda was a life long member of Bethany Lutheran Church in Emmetsburg and participated in Scandinavian days and other activities. She participated in several Relay for Life events and volunteered as a driver for Palo Alto County Hospital.

One of Linda's favorite activities was playing Bingo. She would play in Emmetsburg and would also travel to meet friends for Bingo in other communities. Linda was also an avid bowler in her younger years playing in several leagues in Emmetsburg and traveling to tournaments with Ron and their bowling friends. She also enjoyed fishing trips at her sister's cabin at Leach Lake with friends and family and also occasional weekend getaways with her sisters.

Linda was very proud of her grandchildren and would travel to attend their many sporting events and other activities. She treasured the time that she spent with each of them.
