Linda Lou Arendsen, age 80, of Allendale, went to be with her Lord and Savior on February 25, 2022. Linda was a graceful, strong, and independent woman who loved people and was a devoted follower of the Lord. She was an extremely hard worker, helping to provide for her family’s needs. She loved her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren passionately, she was always very protective of them, and she spent countless hours cheering them on from the stands at their sporting events.
