Linda Kaye Bearhart was born on October 20, 1976 in Cumberland, Wisconsin to Curtis Bearhart Sr. and Tamara Wilson. She attended Sisseton Public School, later on graduating from Tiospa Zina Tribal School in 1995.

Linda enjoyed dancing Fancy Shawl in her younger years and traveling to powwows all over. She became a long time employee at Dakota Magic as a waitress. She loved her job and her interactions with all her customers. Due to her health issues, she pretty much stayed at home. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, always laughing and joking around. It was very rare you saw her without a smile. She loved listening to powwow songs, mainly round dance. Linda had such a beautiful and generous soul; she was always helping someone when they needed it.
