Linda May Myer

Linda May Stauffer Myer was born in Divide County, North Dakota, on April 24, 1951, to her parents Bill and Ethel Stauffer. She joined two brothers, Billy and Bob on the family farm north of Zahl. She attended school in Grenora and obtained a certificate for completing high school in Williston, ND. In Williston, she worked as a nurse’s aide at the Good Samaritan Hospital.

She met her first husband at her job training program in Fargo. Together they had two children, Holly and Matthew. While living in Binford, ND, she had four children with her second husband: Jessica, Glynda, Harold, and Kirsten. Linda lived in Wahpeton for nearly 30 years before moving to Moorhead in 2023 to be closer to family.

She was baptized and confirmed at the East Writing Rock Church near Fortuna, ND. She was a regular church attendee wherever she lived until she was unable.

Linda passed away on Friday, March 28, 2025, after a short illness and is survived by her children: Holly (Alan) Randa, Matthew (Kirsten) Huovinen, Jessica Myer, Glynda (Anthony) Cardott, and Harold Myer, 11 grandchildren (Stauffer, Mitchell, Franklin, Theodore, Sarah, Maddison, Jack, Sawyer, Charlie, Lars, Willow) and 1 great-grandchild (Emilia).

She was preceded in death by her daughter, Kirsten, her parents (William and Ethel Stauffer), her brothers (Billy Stauffer and Robert Stauffer), and nephew (Robert Scott Stauffer).

Linda loved to be with her friends and tell stories of her family. With a Diet Coke and a visit to the Fryin’ Pan her day was complete. Linda’s memory was unmatched, she could recall birthdays, anniversaries, friends of friends and adventures and details like no one else. It was always an interesting conversation when photos came out, she would recite what everyone was doing and saying and why everyone was together.

Linda had her own way of expressing care for those around her, and though her relationships were sometimes challenging, she took great pride in her grandchildren and always found moments of laughter when they were near.

Burial will be at the Riverview Cemetery in Williston, ND on May 5th at 9am.
