Lyda E. Lind's Obituary
Lyda E. Lind, age 89 of Pine River, WI, passed away on Monday October 8, 2012. Lyda was born on May 23, 1923, the daughter of John and Laura (Buchholtz) Sattler in Poy Sippi, WI. Lyda was Baptized into Christ on June 10, 1923 and later confirmed on March 23, 1937 at Emmaus. She spent her school years at the Poy Sippi Grade School, where she completed 8th grade. Lyda married the late Charles Lind on May 4, 1947 at Emmaus Lutheran Church, Poy Sippi. The Rev. John Pingel officiated. They celebrated 63 years of marriage together. Their marriage was blessed with two sons and a daughter. After marriage, the couple lived and worked on Chuck's home farm. In October of 1949, they moved to the present farm and home. They raised Registered Holstein Cattle. Lyda loved to garden and awaited the spring planting season as she browsed through the seed catalogs that would arrive in the mail during the winter. Lyda was a 4-H project leader for many years for Cross Country 4-H Club. She would also enter many baked goods, along with her garden flowers, produce and field grasses in the County Fair. Lyda enjoyed attending the Waushara County Fair for over 50 years. Lyda always made time for her family including Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. From homemade cookies, to bread and fresh baked pies, Lyda always found time in her busy day to whip something up and would include the Grandchildren in making rolled out Christmas Cookies. Lyda had a passion for writing and remembering friends, relatives and loved one's celebrating Birthdays, Anniversaries, and those who were ill and needed some cheering up. If a card or letter was not sent, she would be sure to make a phone call just to let them know they were remembered. Included with this was over 60 years of corresponding with several pen pals. Lyda was also a diligent diary keeper and recorded in it daily all of her married life. Lyda was a faithful member of Emmaus Ev. Lutheran Church in Poy Sippi and sang in the choir for many years. She also taught Sunday School.
