Linda Lou McLarning of Centralia, Mo., went home to be with the Lord on January 6, 2021. Linda’s passing was peaceful and her family was at her bedside. Her last days were filled with music, scripture, family, and messages from friends, all pillars of her life well lived. Linda was born to Arthur and Carolyn (Eicksteadt) Twigg on December 30, 1941, in Rockford, Ill. and she had just celebrated her 79th birthday. Linda and her brother, George, were raised by their grandparents in Garden Prairie, Ill. in a home shared by many aunts, uncles, and cousins over the years. Times were lean but love and family ties ran deep, they still do.
