Linda Douglas Obituary
Concord, NH - Linda Carol (Cline) Douglas passed away Sunday, February 16, 2025, at the age of 82, in her most recent home Albuquerque, NM.
Carol, as she was known, was born in El Paso, TX to Norma (Donald) Cline and Ralph Cline, where she was raised with her three siblings. After she graduated high school, she met her late husband, Frank Douglas, and moved to NH where they raised their four children.
They lived in New Boston, Frank's hometown, and several other small towns until they bought a house on Hall Street in Concord. She worked many years at Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
A life-long lefty knitter and crocheter, Carol made countless afghans, hats, and mittens for her family and friends. She also donated her pieces to hospitals, nursing homes, and charitable organizations. She enjoyed bowling and dancing and socializing at her local senior center.
When she moved to Albuquerque, NM, she met her partner, Michael Anders, and lived the rest of her life with him and their dog, Teddy.
Carol loved to travel and while living in NM she made many trips to NH and Michigan to visit her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Carol was predeceased by her parents, her husband, Franklin P. Douglas, her sister, Barbara Glasscock, and her brother, Donald Cline. She is survived by her partner, Michael Anders of Albuquerque, NM, her sister, Sharon Cline, of Benson, Arizona, and her children, Donna Douglas of Concord, Franklin Douglas and his wife, Kimberly Douglas of Milford, Diane Douglas of Hillman, MI, and Deborah Douglas-Reagan and her husband George Reagan, of Boscawen. She also leaves fourteen grandchildren, and eleven great-grandchildren.

My early memories of Carol Cline were when we attended the same elementary school in Lubbock, TX. Being almost a year older than me, Carol was in the 4th grade, I was in the 3rd. We played together at the home of our paternal grandparents where our families lived relatively nearby. Carol and I thought of each other as 'girl friend" and 'boy friend', saying that we were going to get married someday. Soon, that infatuation ended when both families moved many miles apart to other locations in TX. After that move, we didn't see each other until we were both married and had very young children. Thru the years we were able to visit each other occasionally, sometimes when our spouses could join us in TX, New England, and Las Vegas, NV. The last time we saw the very dear Carol Cline Douglas that we had known for so many years, was when we were vacationing in the lovely city of Santa Fe, NM. We remembered the day of her birthday and it was her 70th! So, we invited Carol to meet us in Santa Fe to celebrate her big 70th birthday. What a celebration it was! The State of New Mexico also joined the celebration, allowing Carol to ride the train for free from Albuquerque and return.

Carol, or Mimi as she insisted that I call her was one of the most vibrant, light spirited people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I married Cameron, Carol´s grandson. The first time I met Carol, she made me feel so special and made me feel like I was truly apart of her family. Carol was sharp, funny and a true fire cracker. I am blessed that I was able to spend the time with her that I did.

Linda and I were friends from grade school through high school until she married and moved away. We had many good times together. She was very smart in school. We spent many nights at each other´s homes. I remember her mom and dad as well as her siblings. They lived on Red Robin street in Lakeside. I remember when Donna was born! I´m truly sorry that we lost touch of each other. God bless her and may she rest in peace with the angels.

My sister was the person I always loved and looked up to as we were growing up together in El Paso, TX. As adults, we frequently spent hours chatting by phone. Although our lives took different directions, my heart remained close to her. We even once knitted ourselves identical red, white and blue dresses unknowingly while living thousands of miles apart. Memories will preserve those good times in my thoughts of her.
