Services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, June 17, at First Baptist Church, Linton, with the Rev. Paul Brannan and the Rev. Matthew Putz officiating. Burial will be at the Linton Cemetery. Visitation will be from 3 to 8 p.m. today at Myers Funeral Home, Linton. Visitation will continue for one hour before service time on Tuesday at the church. Freda (Heer) Kiemele was born on Aug. 20, 1910, to Christian and Barbara (Riedlinger) Heer. She was born on the Heer homestead in Emmons County, near Beaver Bay on the Missouri River. Freda was the seventh of nine children. She went to country school for six years and then worked on the farm to help her mother and family by caring for the animals, doing household chores, and whatever else needed to be done. She married her curly-haired neighbor boy, Ferdinand Kiemele, on Nov. 27, 1934, in Bismarck, and went to live and work with him on the Kiemele homestead and farm. They spent 34 years there, beginning in the depths of the Great Depression. Freda’s culinary skills blossomed there on the farm. They had to. There were now three little girls to feed in addition to Ferd, as well as what must have seemed to be an endless line of threshing crews. In 1968, Freda and Ferdinand retired to a home they purchased in Linton, but they didn’t necessarily slow down. They were busy serving in the Linton First Baptist Church and the Women’s Missionary Fellowship, busy enjoying their grandchildren, busy having coffee and visiting with friends, busy biking around town, and much more. Freda enjoyed cooking at Crystal Springs Baptist Camp, which was her only “job” outside the world of her family. She was a charter member of both the Linton’s Senior Citizens and the Emmons County Historical Society. Freda enjoyed life to the fullest, always doing her part, and never wanting to miss a special occasion for those she loved. She absolutely loved to laugh and her laughter was infectious. When she got started, everyone around usually ended up laughing until they cried. Freda’s partner and friend, Ferdinand, died in 1993. She moved into the NoDak Apartments in Linton in 1996 where she lived independently until just a few months before her 100th birthday. At the age of 99, she was still cooking, baking (she loved baking her yummy angel food cakes for her friends birthdays and other special occasions), making jelly, enjoying friends and family, and scrubbing her floor on her hands and knees to get into the corners just like her dad had taught her. In 2010, she moved into the Strasburg Care Center and, just like everywhere else in her life, she made new friends and thrived by visiting, playing games, shucking corn, folding clothes and doing her best to enjoy life. On Friday, June 13, 2014, at the age of 103, her journey in this life ended and she began the most amazing journey of eternal life with Jesus, her Lord and Savior. Freda was preceded in death by her husband, Ferdinand Kiemele; her parents, Christian and Barbara Heer; all her siblings, Jim, Jake, Bill, Chris, Henry, Fred, Carrie and Albert; and her son-in-law, Garry Woehl. She is survived by her three daughters, Della (Leslie) Beck, and Darlene (Melvin) Loebs, all of Linton, and Dorothy Woehl, Ashley; eight grandchildren, John (Shannon) Beck, Jerilyn (Will) MacDonald, Alison (Matt) Putz, Josh (Caren) Loebs, Kristen (Brandon) Thomas, Amy (Dan) Rohrbach, Brad (Becki) Woehl and Brittany (Jon) Griffith; and 15 great-grandchildren, Taylor and John Colton Beck, Jerrod, Jayden and Ty MacDonald, Brennan, Coryn and Eryn Putz, Payton, Cade and Kylie Rohrbach, Brock Woehl, Brenden and Brittany Fowler, and Sawyer Thomas.
