Nov 14, 2021

Linda Lou (Farley) Reynolds died on Nov. 14, 2021, in her home in Neosho, Mo.

Born on Nov. 22, 1941, to William Glenn and Berta Irene (Landreth) Farley in Stella, Mo., Linda was the second youngest of 12 siblings. After graduating from Midway High School in 1959, Linda moved to Kansas City, Mo., where she had her son, Glenn Reynolds, and daughter, Karla (Reynolds) Allen.

Later, while her kids were young, Linda moved to Anchorage, Alaska, living here for the better part of 40 years. Linda passionately followed the Iditarod Sled Dog Race every winter from the time she moved to Alaska, and she missed the sight of snow-topped mountains dearly after moving away.

Linda was better known as "Mammaw" to her six grandkids: Bubby Reynolds, Coren Reynolds and Carli Reynolds from Glenn; and Michael Altman, Spencer Allen and Cannon Allen from Karla. From grandson Michael and his wife Jessie (Macalady), Linda also two great-grandkids, Emma and Eli. Linda's grandkids and great-grandkids all have joyful memories of her, from baking to watching movies, and all of them cherish the time they spent with their Mammaw.

Linda is survived by brother, Jim Farley; sister, Patsy Bridges; son, Glenn Reynolds; daughter and son-in-law, Karla and Jeff Allen; grandkids, Bubby, Michael and his wife Jessie, Coren, Carli, Spencer and Cannon; great-grandkids, Emma and Eli; and countless nieces, nephews and other extended family.

Linda is preceded in death by her parents, William Glenn and Berta Irene (Landreth); brothers, William Glenn Farley Jr. (who died in infancy), Lewis Farley, Leroy Farley, Jack Farley and Bud Farley; and sisters, Colleen Rumley, Louise Eaton, Bessie Bumpas and Peggy Long.

A visitation for Linda will be held at the Clark Funeral Home in Neosho on Nov. 22, 2021, at 4:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, Linda's family requests donations be sent to St. Jude's Children's Research Center.
