The pro-life movement has lost an outstanding defender of the unborn. Linda Behnken passed away on January 30, 2013. Linda's steadfast belief in the sanctity of life was the driving force in her commitment to protect all human life from the womb to natural death. She was President of Belleville Right to Life and Past President of the Illinois Federation for Right to Life. She also served as the Treasurer of the Illinois Federation for Right to Life. She was the Pro-life Coordinator for St. Nicholas Parish for 20 years. Linda's life of sacrificial giving of her time, energy and personal resources serves as a model for all pro-lifers. May God reward her richly for her tireless work for His Kingdom.
