Karlynda Kae (Fait) Most, 45, Died March 11, 2012 in Canton, SD
Karlynda was born on March 16th, 1966 at Sioux Valley Hospital in Sioux Falls to Stephen and Neva Fait.
After her parent’s divorce, her mother was later married to Marlin Chaussee and they raised Karlynda as an only child in their home in Canton. She attended C. C. Jacobson Elementary School and the Canton Junior and High Schools, graduating in 1984. From there she went to Grace College, in Omaha, where she met her husband-to-be, Jonathan Most. Jonathan and Karlynda were married on August 8th, 1987 and immediately moved to Redlands, CA where some years later their son, Jared, was born. During this time Karlynda worked as an office manager for Kal Porter and Associates, Architects, a job she thrived in. She was thrilled to become a mother though and happily gave up her job to become a full time homemaker as she followed her husband’s aviation career, which led them to homes in several states and also the countries of Mexico and Afghanistan. She became the mother of two more children during this time, daughters Kalyssa and Kyla. After settling in Canton in 2006, Karlynda became a member of the Lincoln Hills Bible Church in Sioux Falls and served by maintaining the records for their AWANA youth program. More recently, Karlynda began attending The River Church in Canton.
Karlynda is survived by her husband, Jonathan, and their children; Jared, Kalyssa, and Kyla, and her parents, Marlin and Neva Chaussee, all of Canton, SD. She is also survived by her father, Stephen (Kathy) Fait, her grandmother, Marie Fait, two half-brothers, Darin and Brian Fait, all of Henderson, NV. Also surviving are three step brothers and one step sister; Steve Chaussee of Rapid City, SD, Scott Chaussee of Worthing, SD, Pamela Cooper of Sioux Falls, SD and Brent (Angela) Chaussee of Sioux Falls, SD, as well as four uncles and aunts, and numerous cousins. Preceding her in death were her maternal grandparents, Arnold and Katherine Friesen, and paternal grandfather, Millard Fait.
A viewing will be held at the Anderson Funeral Home, in Canton, on Wednesday, March 14th from 1 to 8 pm, with family arriving at 6 pm. Funeral service will be at the Bethany Reformed Church, in Canton on Thursday, March 15th at 10:30, interment to follow at the Forest Hill Cemetery. Following interment, a reception will be held at the Bethany Reformed Church.
Karlynda will always be so very dear to us. We continue in life with the sure hope of being with her once again in Heaven, a hope that only faith in Jesus Christ can bring.
Karlynda was such a special person in our lives, years ago. We are sorry to hear the sad news, but we will always remember her sweet face and what a kind, kind person she was. We send our prayers to the family.
Our deepest sympathy from all of us at the Canton Dental Clinic. Karlynda was a kind, caring person and we enjoyed her very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and we ask that God hold you and keep you close during this difficult time.
Dear John, Neva, Marlin & Children, I am so sorry to hear the very sad news. Karlynda was the little girl across the street from me when she was a baby, then became the mom across the street from me now in later years. Karlynda will be missed not only by me but many many others. You are in my prayers at this time.
I am so sorry to hear the sad news. Karlynda was such a kind person, I have so many fun memories of us playing together as kids. She was always so nice and easy to be around. I will be praying for the family. May God’s love and comfort be with all of you.
Our deepest and sincerest condolences go out to John, Jared, Kalyssa and Kyla and the Most families and Karlynda’s families and friends. We are so saddened at the news and our continued prayers and thoughts go out to the families. May the Lord comfort you in your time of loss and need.
My heart is aching for your loss. There are really no words that adequately express sorrow at a time like this, but I want you to know that I will keep you all in fervent prayer. Karlynda is safely held by her Creator who is able to give comfort during the deep valleys of life. I will always remember with joy the time I got to visit with her and John. My oldest son, J.T. shared that Karlynda was the reason he went to Grace College. That is one of her many gifts to others that will continue.
Marlin, Neva and Jon and family:
We were deeply saddened to learn of Karlynda’s passing. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. May you be comforted, knowing she is with the Lord now.
Love, Al & Joanne

Dear Jon and Kiddos!
We have been praying for you over the last week and will continue. I have been going through a study in Hebrews and was working through Heb 3 and 4 and have been personally touched by the fact that we have a rest that comes from God. The rest that we can have now and we will experience in the future is heavenly not of this world. I pray that you will find rest and peace in the Lord during these days. In these times we need Him mos,t we will pray that you will draw close to him daily and find rest. We are praying daily for you.
Blue Skies,
Chris and Wendy
Neva, Our hearts are aching for you. What a beautiful daughter she is and how she will brighten heaven! We know she had your sweetness and a loving heart. We remember your caring when my mother died and we appreciated your letter so much! As cousins, we don’t know each other well, but we have history together – similar memories and genes. Memories of a soft hearted grandmother who baked large molasses cookies and a grandfather who sipped his coffee from a saucer. Toys in a corner cabinet and sacks at Christmas. Your father, who had the biggest smile ever! and who helped us build our first house. Your mother who cared fior my little sister when our other sister, Joycie, died. Karlynda has so many relatives to greet her, but meanwhile, it will be lonely here for you and her family. We send loving condolences and want you to know we care. Kathy Blickenstaff

Love to you all,
Barb and Steve
