Linda McBride, 72, of Wagner died Saturday, May 24 at Avera McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls. Burial was in St. Paul’s Catholic Cemetery. Peters FuneralHomeinWagner is in charge of arrangements.

Linda was born to Katherine T. SpiderWood-Honomichl and Arthur D. Honomichl, Sr. at the PHS of Wagner. Linda attended St. Paul’s Indian Boarding School from 1st grade to 6th grade, at the time of her father’s passing on February 8, 1967, when she quit school.

She was sixteen when she met the love of her life, Darrel Dewayne McBride, Sr. and they were united in marriage on 10/1/1971, at Charles Mix County Court House, witnessed by her Aunt Maxine Rouse. Linda and Darrel lived in Choteau Creek area with Darrel’s grandmother, MaLee Bates until moving to South Housing in Wagner in the mid 70s where they raised their children.

During their union they had four children; two sons Darrell D. McBride, Jr. “Wakinyan Cante” “Peanuts” and Brent Dean McBride, “Paska”, both deceased, and two daughters; Wanda Marie “DeeDee” Mc-Bride and Pearline Elaine McBride.

Linda loved to “shawl dance” especially at the local traditional pow-wow in Lake Andes. She just loved to dance in general.

Linda left to the other side camp on her birthday. Her daughters DeeDee and Pearline were by her side and two hours before her leaving, her daughters blessed her with a Facebook post, “Warmest wishes to my incredible, loving, caring, beautiful mom, Linda on celebrating her 72 years of spreading love and light. Also expressing gratefulness to their mom for being in their life and for her selflessness and devotion that inspired them and so many others, thanking their mom for being such an amazing mother and role model.
