Linda Rose Nagle

Linda Rose Nagle, formally of Bourbon, MO, passed away September 27, 2024, at the age of 75 after a lengthy illness.

Linda was born in St. Louis, MO, to William and Rose Beine on August 2, 1949. She grew up in Overland, MO, and went on to welcome 4 siblings, Cynthia, Bill, Barbara and Jack.

In 1973, she married John Nagle from Steelville, MO. The next year they welcomed a son John Jr.  Sadly, she lost the love of her life, John, in 1979. Being a single mother was a challenge, but she embraced it and in 1985 went on to also welcome a daughter, Jessica.

Being a mother was always what she wanted to be, she said, and it showed in how she did a great job raising John and Jessica. Also very important to her was her faith. In 1981, she became one of Jehovah's Witnesses and spent the rest of her life telling others about the wonderful good news of God's Kingdom from the Bible. When she got older and dealt with health issues, she enjoyed meeting with a special group of friends and they would preach the good news by phone. Linda enjoyed this time so much and lit up when she talked about her experiences.

Linda eventually went on to have two grandchildren, Johnny and Liam. The time that she spent with them was precious to her and it shows in how close they were to her, the big smiles in the pictures she took with them, and the drawings that they made for her all over her refrigerator. For fun, she loved to sing, dance, sing karaoke and watch baseball games. We will all miss the love she showed, her sense of humor and her sassiness.

Linda is survived by her son John Nagle Jr. and his wife Shaley of Salem, MO, daughter Jessica Blankis and her husband Matthew of Pacific, MO, two grandchildren: John Nagle III and Liam Blankis; sister Cynthia Crandell and husband Ed of Dalton, GA, brother Bill Beine and wife Sharon of Hawk Point, MO, sister Barbara Milzark of Montgomery City, MO, brother Jack Beine and wife Julie of Cedar Hill, MO, and many beloved nieces, nephews and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband John Nagle Sr., her father William Beine, and her mother Rose Beine.

A memorial for Linda will be held on October, 26, 2024, at 4pm. Location will be at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in Pacific, MO.
