Linda A. Artruc, 75, passed peacefully on August 16, 2025. Born on October 22, 1949, in Boston, she was the daughter of the late Catherine F. and James O. McNamara.
A graduate of Somers High School in Somers, Connecticut, Linda dedicated many years to working as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Most recently, she lent her skills and compassion to the Visiting Angels and the Holland Senior Center, where her gentle spirit and warm heart touched countless lives.
Linda was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. As a faithful member of Holland Congregational Church, she found joy in her service as a ladies' discipler and as a passionate singer in the church choir. Her deep love for her church family was reflected in the many events, gatherings, and ministries she actively participated in throughout the years.
The bond Linda shared with her late sister, Mary “Bunny” Paquette, who passed away in 2024, was one of profound friendship and joy. Together, they celebrated their shared passions for music, art, and deep conversations, filling their lives with cherished memories.
Linda is survived by her two sons, Jason Cunningham, 46, and Andrew Cunningham, 45, three nephews and one niece. She was preceded in death by her sister Mary “Bunny” Paquette, as well as her parents, Catherine McNamara in 2003 and James McNamara in 1980.
Services will be held at a later date.
