Frieda Sophie Kimball, the daughter of George and Augusta (Lubenow) Kelz, was born on October 1, 1915 near Sherburn, MN. She was baptized in infancy and confirmed at St. Johns Lutheran Church in Sherburn, where she also attended jr. high and high school.

Friedas marriage to Lloyd Kimball on October 7, 1931, was officiated by Rev. Neuaber, the same Reverend who confirmed her. After living on a farm near Sherburn, Frieda and Lloyd moved to a farm near Spirit Lake, IA in 1934. In 1947, they moved to a farm north of Everly, IA where they lived until retiring in 1976 to a home on the east side of West Lake Okoboji.

After her husbands death in 2001, Frieda moved to the Highlands Lutheran Complex in Spencer and was a member of Christ the King Lutheran Church. During their retirement years at Lake Okoboji, Frieda and Lloyd attended Immanuel Lutheran Church in Spirit Lake. The majority of their years together were spent as members of First English Lutheran Church, where their twelve children attended religiously during their youth.

Frieda passed away on November 5, 2007, at the Spencer Hospital at the age of 92. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; her daughter, Charlotte Duff; her grandson, David Dykstra; her great granddaughter, Gabrielle Woeltje; one brother, Lawrence Kelz; one sister, Lucy Kelz and two sons-in-law: Bill Smith and Loyal Schwisow.
