Linda Rose Westgate

Boscawen, NH - Linda Rose Westgate (née Palmer), 71, passed away suddenly on April 23, 2025, in Concord, New Hampshire.

Born on September 5, 1953, in Marlborough, Massachusetts, Linda was the beloved daughter of Harold and Pauline Palmer. She grew up surrounded by a large and loving family, a bond that remained central to her life.

Linda shared many years of marriage with the love of her life, her late husband, Charlie Westgate. She will be lovingly remembered by her children: Jennifer Westgate and her partner Shaine Young; Kevin Westgate and his wife Kari Gustad; and Jayson Westgate, her grandchildren: Kady Westgate, Owen Westgate, Shevy Young, and Cory Young, and her great grandson, Sawyer. She is also survived by her siblings Steve Palmer, David Palmer, and Lorraine Brunelle.

Linda was predeceased by her parents Harold and Pauline Palmer; her sister Carol Vallee; and her brother Harold Palmer Jr.

Linda had a loving spirit and an infectious sense of humor, and would do anything she could to be there for the people in her life. She was known for her kindness, generosity, and unwavering devotion to those she loved.

Whether she was playing bingo or curled up with a good book, Linda found joy in the simple pleasures of life. A talented crafter, she never met a project she couldn't master-crocheting being one of her favorite pastimes. Her love for her family was boundless and evident in every stitch of a handmade gift or every shared moment around the table.

A memorial gathering will be held on Friday, May 23rd, from 4 to 6pm at the Cremation Society of New Hampshire. The Cremation Society of New Hampshire has been entrusted with arrangements. To view an online tribute, leave a message of condolence or for more information please visit www.csnh.com.
