Linda Lee Fravel Vevig was born along side twin brother on November 20, 1955 to Clifford and Phyllis Fravel in Pierre, SD.
She attended Orton Country school where her mother taught her until the 4th grade in Mission Ridge until 8th grade graduation when she, her twin brother and Bill Myers began high school in Fort Pierre.

In 1975 Linda married Randy Vevig. They worked for Raymond Shields east of Pierre where they resided until 1979 when they moved to the Sletto ranch near Draper until her death.
Linda’s most proud moments were when she and Randy welcomed their 3 children, Brandon, Lana and Beth. She worked various jobs throughout her life including the Hilltop Café as a waitress, school bus driver, deputy sheriff of Jones County, West central Electric, 1st National Bank of Murdo and currently for the State of South Dakota.
Her favorite time of the year was working cattle when everyone would come help and she would cook a large meal. She enjoyed softball for 25 years, taking her 11 grandkids along the creek to find valuables and taking them snake hunting and having picnics in the pasture.
Linda also thoroughly enjoyed pulling pranks as most of her coworkers and family can attest to. Therefore, Halloween was her favorite holiday however her antics were not limited to the holiday. She practiced year around and was very good at it!
