Lawrence “ LD” Funk was born June 7, 1938, to Willard H. Funk and Iona Double Funk in Newton, Iowa. He was united in marriage to Janice Vancise on July 15, 1956, at the Congregational Church in Baxter. From this marriage they were blessed with four wonderful children: Teresa Nash, Jeff Funk, Curt Funk, and Angie Funk Jones. LD retired as a die setter out of the Plastics Department at Maytag after 29 years of service. He was often referred to by a special friend as “Mother”.

LD was multi-talented with an artistic side and enjoyed furniture building, custom painting motorcycles, custom gun carving, drawing, painting, fishing and lawn care. LD and Janice enjoyed touring the county on their motorcycle with their friends. LD and Janice together enjoyed their special weekly group of “Coffee and Breakfast” friends.

LD passed away on August 5, 2022, in his home in Newton. He was 84 years old. He was preceded in death by his parents, Willard & Iona Funk, his brother, Leroy Funk and his sister Norma Jean Funk.
