Linda Karna

Linda Carol Karna was born March 12, 1950, in Owatonna, Minn., to Lloyd and Marilyn (Remold) Dahl. There she was raised and attended school graduating in 1968.
Linda met the love of her life and was united in marriage to Wayne Karna Sept. 19, 1970, at Trinity Lutheran Church. The couple made their home in Owatonna until moving to Custer, S.D., in 1976 to raise their family.
Linda wanted nothing more than to have children and start a family. She had such a strong love for children that it was only natural that she opened her home to foster children and started a daycare business which she ran for over 30 years. She loved children with all her heart.
Linda enjoyed country music, shopping, baking and crocheting blankets, but most importantly loved sharing her handmade gifts with everyone. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family and beloved grandchildren, which led Wayne and Linda to move to Rapid City, S.D., in 2006 to be closer to their children and grandchildren.
She will always be remembered as a loving wife, mother and grandmother.
Linda, of Rapid City, went home to be with Jesus June 17, 2022, with her loving husband of 51 years by her side. She was 72.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Lloyd and Marilyn Dahl; and brother, Terry Dahl.
Linda is survived by her loving and caring husband, Wayne Karna; her children, Shad (Nikki) Karna, Tanya (Alvin) Morava and Jenni (Greg) Darlow her beloved grandchildren, Emma, Kayne, Sophie, Halle, Brie, Kaden, Maycie and step-grandchildren, Jude and Cade, all of Rapid City; two brothers, Jim (Deb) Dahl, Mike (Wendy) Dahl; and a very special Godson, Jacob Dahl.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Linda’s name to the Children’s Home Society, 24100 S. Rockerville Rd, Rockerville, SD  57702.
A private celebration of life will be held for family members only June 22.
