It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Lynda C. Holland, who left us on Thursday, July 31, 2025, at the age of 34.
Born on Wednesday, September 26, 1990, in San Marcos, Texas, the daughter of Eddie Bolton and Carrol (Garman) Bolton.
Lynda was a beacon of light to all who knew her. Her infectious laughter and ever-present smile had the remarkable ability to uplift everyone around her. With a profound passion for art, she created stunning paintings and drawings that encapsulated her love for beauty and creativity. A music enthusiast, Lynda was often found dancing and listening to her favorite tunes, bringing joy to those who joined her.
She was a kind and compassionate soul, always ready to lend a helping hand. Lynda’s generous spirit and her talent for making people laugh will be dearly missed by her community and loved ones.
Lynda is survived by her devoted mother, Carrol Bolton of Centralia; her three beloved children: Hayden Tyler Hale, Kloi Marie Hale, and Abbi Jo Hale. She also leaves behind her cherished siblings: Andrew Garman of Ashley, Holly Overall and husband Terence, Phyllis Holland and Allen Hirsch, all of Centralia, and three step sisters: Bonita Bolton of Arizona, Teresa Bolton of Greenville, and Tiffany Bolton of Centralia. Lynda was a loving aunt and cousin, and her memory will live on in the hearts of several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, great-aunts, great-uncles, and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her father, Eddie Bolton, grandmother Patricia Barrow, and grandfather Charles Hendrickson, each of whom she held dear in her heart.
Cremation rites for Lynda will be accorded, and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date to honor her remarkable journey. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations, which will be accepted at Sutherland-Garnier Funeral Home, located at 235 North Sycamore Street, Centralia, Illinois 62801, (618)532-3523, who is honored to be of service to Lynda’s Family during this difficult time.
