Linda Snell Obituary

Linda Snell
Linda Snell, age 65, of Fairfield, beloved wife of Jeffrey R. Snell, entered into eternal life June 15, 2020, surrounded by her loved ones. Linda was a graduate of Weston High School and the University of Connecticut. She would go on to dedicate 38 years to furthering the not-for-profit organization serving individuals of all ages who have developmental disabilities, as well as providing support services to their families; STAR, Inc. as Director of Family Support Services. When Linda wasn't at work, she loved to spend time with her family. She spent great amounts of time traveling, sailing, skiing, and beaching at her favorite vacation spot at Lake Winnipesaukee. Most importantly to her were her family and friends. Many people have said her smile was contagious and could light up a room. Linda was universally seen as kind, emphatic, and had a sincerely bubbly energy. She had a wonderful way about her and she will be very missed. In addition to her husband, Jeffrey, Linda's memory will be lovingly remembered by her two daughters, Kirstin E. Reilly and Nicole S. Snell; her father, Robert E. Roylance, a granddaughter, Declan Reilly; a sister, Nanci E. Paluzzi, and her mother-in-law, Jeanie H. Snell. She was predeceased by her mother, Ingrid A. Roylance; and her brother, Robert T. Roylance, Jr. There will be a private gathering for close family and friends. There will also be a future celebratory gathering for all of Linda's friends and extended family. Details will be provided once the date and location are decided. In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to contribute to the "Linda Snell Family Support Fund" by going to https://www.starct.org/donate. *Please be sure you scroll down and select Linda Snell Family Support Fund when making a donation.

I knew Linda for many years through our parents who were friends and our fathers were coworkers at Perkin Elmer many many years ago. I am deeply sorry for the loss to the Roylance and Snell families.

Liny and I were best friends during adolescence in Weston We were inseparable for a long period of time beginning soon after her family moved to the house she grew up in. She was very special with a kind, open heart and gentle spirit. I am sad to hear of her passing and send deep condolences to everyone in the family.
