We are deeply saddened to report the passing of a dear friend, and fellow area reporter, Becky Malkovich.
Becky Malkovich, 53, whose family is from the Benton area and ran the local paper for decades there, and whose brother, John Malkovich, is a well-known Hollywood actor, suffered the heart attack on Saturday, and we are heartbroken to report that she passed away earlier today.
Becky was one of our favorite people in downstate Illinois, and we are going to miss her dearly.
We wish to send our deepest condolences to the Malkovich family. We are so sorry to hear of your loss.
