Linda Benson Obituary
Linda was warm hearted, quick to laugh, fun loving and outgoing. Her personality endeared her to all and she made friends wherever she went. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Linda loved animals - always owning dogs and also volunteering at dog rescue operations. She loved to shop and shop and shop. She often volunteered to shop for family, friends and co-workers. With passionate enthusiasm she would always pursue the best possible prices, even if it meant multiple trips, returns and exchanges. She saw it as a personal challenge. Linda was a lifelong Yankees fan, enjoyed sports and was active in bowling, softball, skiing, swimming and golf. She and her husband were frequent visitors at the Jersey Shore.
A shout out to all family and friends who have already offered their prayers, condolences and personal services. Linda leaves behind a loving husband and best friend, Brant, and three devoted Shih Tzu dogs Molly, Buddy and Ping. "Team Benson" is now split between Heaven and Earth, due to be reunited at some future date.
Friends may attend a visitation from 5pm to 7pm Thursday, August 20, 2020 at the Tuttle Funeral Home, 272 Highway 10, Randolph (www.tuttlefh.com). Adherence to NJ's social distancing and mask mandates is required. Per Linda's wishes, funeral services will be private.

So sorry to hear this. Linda has left us too soon and will be greatly missed by me and many others. I remember her well from ASCO, and she was always kind and helpful to me. Prayers and condolences to Brant and their families and all their friends.

I have not seen Linda in over 40 years but have fond childhood memories of wrestling her father “Uncle George” along with her and my brother Tom.

Ever so true: "Only the good die young". I have been friends with Linda almost 50 years. We were like brother and sister - I have been blessed with her friendship. If your friends tears, could build a bridge and our memories to Heaven - Linda, you would have a lot of visitors.
Ar Dheis De Go Raibh a N-aanamacha Dilse. ( An Irish Blessing ) My your faithful soul rest at the Right Hand of God.
