Born on March 6, 1964, to Janice Rupert in Iowa City, Iowa, Linda grew up in Ida Grove, Iowa, where she received her education and graduated with the class of 1982 from Ida Grove High School.

Linda met the love of her life, Perry Kuhl, and the two were united in marriage on October 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.

Those left to cherish her memory are her children, Dustin Kuhl of Sioux Falls, SD, Nicole Koehlmoos of Ida Grove, IA, and Christopher (Kensley) Kuhl of Sioux Falls, SD; grandson Aidyn Kuhl of Colorado; mother Janice Rupert of Ida Grove, IA; brother Rowdy Rupert of Minnesota; sister Jodean Groesbeck of Texas; and many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

Linda was preceded in death by her father Merle Rupert; husband Perry Kuhl; and brother Raymond Rupert.
