Linda Wentland Celebration of Life Aug 27th

Courtesy of Caldwell Parrish:

Linda Lee Wentland (née Veldman) passed away Monday, August 22nd, at her home in Adel, Iowa.

Linda was a devoted wife to her husband of 45 years, Allen, and a proud and loving mother to her seven children.

Linda’s life was full of love and family, and nothing was more important to her than her children and grandchildren.

Born in Omaha, Nebraska, to Richard and Shirley Veldman, Linda came from a large family with her three brothers and four sisters, before going on to start her own.

Creative and spirited, Linda enjoyed sewing, baking, and working in her garden, tending the beautiful flowers that made her happy.

She enjoyed collecting things that made her smile, ranging from keychains and clocks, to memorabilia of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, of which she was a lifelong fan.

She will be remembered as a caring and loving mother, raising and guiding not only her own children, but the many others she babysat, took under her wing, or supported in all their hopes and dreams.

Linda will be greatly missed, but her memory and legacy will live on through her children, grandchildren, and all the lives she touched while on her journey.

Linda is survived by her husband, Allen; her children, Nicholas, Justin, Trisha, Sadie, Alyssa, Nicole, and Sharissa; her grandchildren, Michael, Serena, Alexavior, Aries, Arwyn, and Gwendolyn; and her siblings, Michael, David, Donna, Kathleen, Barbara, and Todd.

She is preceded in passing by her father, Richard; mother, Shirley; and sister, Joyce.

A celebration of life will be held at the Adel Public Library Community Room on Saturday, August 27th, from 3 pm to 6 pm.

In the spirit of Linda, please come as you are. Should you choose, wear red in honor.

Raccoon River Valley Trail Inducted Into Rails-to-Trails

In August, Iowa’s Raccoon River Valley Trail was Inducted Into Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s National Hall of Fame after receiving a record-breaking 16,000 votes in the National 2021 Rail-Trail Hall of Fame contest!

Since opening in 1989, the trail has been a vital tourist attraction and embraced as an asset for health, wellness and connections among the region and state.

This 89-mile path – offering views of woodlands, prairies, public art and a unique “lighted bridge”—connects rural communities to larger cities, including Jefferson, Des Moines and Perry.

Plans are in the works to eventually connect the Raccoon River Valley Trail to the world-famous High Trestle Trail.

The trail is also an important segment of the cross-country Great American Rail-Trail™, a flagship project of RTC that will connect Washington, D.C., and Washington State across 3,700 miles of trail.

Today, more than 350,000 people use the trail annually, bringing economic opportunities and vitality to the 14 communities that dot the trail, much like the railroad did 150 years ago. Learn more about the trail at raccoonrivervalleytrail.org.
