Linda Kay Hermanson was born October 11, 1965, in Albert Lea, Minnesota, to Roger G. and Norma Lou (Slattum) Hermanson. She grew up in Lake Mills, Iowa and graduated from Lake Mills High School in 1984. She went on to attend Iowa State University where she earned a degree in marketing.

Before beginning her 34 years with Wells Fargo, Linda worked at several banks in Albert Lea. She moved to Des Moines and later married Tim Pomeroy in 2001. Together they were blessed with a son, Nathan, and made their home in Adel, Iowa before moving to Winterset in 2005. Although the marriage ended in 2014, they remained good friends.

Linda enjoyed being involved in Nathan’s activities, including serving as his Cub Scout leader and cheering him on in sports and band performances. She also enjoyed traveling and supporting him in club volleyball. She treasured the friendships she built with the other parents during those years.
