Linda Lou McClellan

Linda was a strong, vibrant, and unforgettable woman who lived life on her own terms. She had a fun and outgoing personality and a spirit that could light up a room. Linda believed in being true to herself and living life her way, whether anyone agreed with it or not. Her honesty, humor, and fearless attitude were part of what made her so special to those who knew and loved her.

Family meant everything to Linda. She is survived by her three children, Jerry Parrish, Kandi Colclasure, and Kim Parrish, as well as her beloved bonus son, David Tipton. She was a proud grandmother to seven grandchildren and a loving great-grandmother to seven great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her immense pride and joy. Linda treasured the time she spent with her family and created countless memories that will live on in their hearts forever.

Linda was preceded in death by her devoted husband, James “Jay” McClellan; her parents, Ray and Shirley Krause; and her two brothers, Gary Krause and Tom Krause.

Linda will be remembered for her big personality, her strength, and the love she shared with her family and friends. She had a way of making people laugh, speaking her mind, and reminding those around her to live life fully. Though she will be deeply missed, the memories she created and the love she gave will continue to live on through those who knew her.

Her family finds comfort knowing that her legacy lives on through her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was, and always will be, loved beyond words.
