Elaina Grace Darnell was born on September 2, 2023 at Good Samaritan Hospital. After spending hours in the arms of her loving parents, she peacefully took her final rest while in her parent’s arms, with her twin sister beside her. Elaina's presence and light will be missed more than words could describe.
Though Elaina was with her family for only a short time, she changed the lives of those she touched forever. She is loved and cherished and our family is forever grateful to have spent this brief, but incredibly meaningful, time with our sweet Lainey. She is survived by her parents, Jordan and Betty, and her two sisters, Josilynn and Emilia; maternal grandmother, Betty Fitzpatrick of Sardinia; paternal grandparents, Jane and Bill Phillips of Georgetown as well as several great-grandparents and several aunts and uncles.
Family and friends are invited to a visitation from 12:00 PM, until the time of the funeral service at 1:00 PM, Monday, September 11, 2023 at Meeker Funeral Home, 308 N. Columbus St., Russellville. Pastor Gary Lambert will officiate. Burial will follow at Linwood Cemetery in Russellville.
There has been an account set up in benefit of Elaina Darnell, at Fifth Third Bank to assist the family. Any funds raised will be used towards funeral and burial expenses, medical bills, and expenses that will continue to accumulate while grieving the loss of our child and trying to be present at the hospital for our daughter who is still in the NICU for an extended period.
