Trudy Lynn Karrow, age 60, passed away Sunday, January 26, 2025, at Allure Nursing Home in Sterling, Illinois, under the care of Serenity Hospice.

She was a graduate of Polo High School and was a member of St. Mark's Lutheran Church of Polo, Illinois.

She is survived by her brother and sister-in-law, Tony and Judy Karrow; sister, Tammy Karrow; niece, Brittney Karrow; nephews, Chad (Danielle) Karrow, Alex (Melissa) Karrow; 6 wonderful great-nieces and nephews, Rylyn, Morgan, Maddox, Trevor, Peyton, and Mack Karrow.
