Linda Benway Obituary
Born on February 1, 1957, to Claire Niquette and Robert St. Armour, Linda was a loving mother and grandmother who cherished time spent with her family. She found joy in listening to music, working on puzzles, sewing, and watching Hallmark movies.
Linda was preceded in death by her husband, Ralph Paul Benway; her mother, Claire Niquette; and her son, Edward. She is survived by her partner in life, Tim Barrett; her children, Fred Bessette and his wife Amy, Francis Harris and his fiancée Angela Laughlin, and Angel Edwards and her husband Chris Edwards; her brothers Steven and Bob; her sister Allie; as well as several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, March 9, at the Eagles Club in Milton, located at 42 Centre Drive, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Linda's memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

To Linda´s children and loved ones,
I am deeply saddened to hear the news about Linda. She was such a remarkable person, and I want to share my thoughts and memories with you during this difficult time.
Linda was a strong woman, yet she possessed a sweetness and love that touched everyone around her. She held a special place in our family. I fondly remember how thoughtful and caring she was toward our mom when she was alive. Linda would often call to check in, and Mom truly cherished their visits over coffee-their shared love for coffee was a beautiful bond.
Her unwavering love and support for my brother, Tim, were truly a blessing. She played a pivotal role in turning his life around, standing by him during the toughest times.
I also treasure the conversations we had on the phone. They were always filled with stories about her children and grandchildren. She loved you all deeply; you were her light and joy.
Please know that my thoughts are with you all during this time of sorrow.
With heartfelt condolences,
Helen
