Lynette was born October 3, 1920, in Humboldt, to Leo Even and Olive Stephens. Lynette was fortunate enough to have two sisters and five brothers growing up where she went to school in Humboldt and graduating in 1938.

In 1942, Lynette married the love of her life, Willard Kampf in Humboldt. They were blessed with three children, Sandy, Jackie and Paul. They cherished 47 years of life together until Willard’s passing in 1989.

They lived on the farm near Hartford for many years. Lynette always had a good business sense. She raised and sold chickens to area families for many years.

In the early 1960s she began working for Fantles Department Store. In 1974, they left the farm and moved to Sioux Falls. She later worked at Younkers as a sales clerk and eventually became department head where she worked for 12 years. After that she worked for Reierson’s Miracle Ear for 19 years. Besides work, Lynette enjoyed bowling for many years and keeping up with yard work and crossword puzzles. 

Lynette is survived by her daughters, Sandra and her husband Robert Hall of Florence, Ken., and Jacqueline and her husband Bill Boyd of Bonita, Calif.; six grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; a sister-in-law, Carol Even of Humboldt; and a brother, Leroy Even of Minnesota.
