Linda A. (Archambault) Brailey, 71, died unexpectedly at her home on Tuesday, November 11, 2025.
Linda was born in Nashua, New Hampshire on September 11, 1954. She is the daughter of Leo Archambault of Ontario, Canada and the late Pearl (Paige) Elliott. She received her education in the Nashua School System.
Linda dedicated 43 years of her life to working as a solderer at Kollsman, now known as Elbit, before her well-earned retirement. Throughout her career, she played an essential role in the company's operations, contributing her skill and expertise to the assembly and production of critical components; as well as earning multiple accreditations for her excellent work. Her long tenure at the company is a testament to her dedication, hard work, and the trust she built within her team and the organization.
Linda had a zest for life, balancing her love for adventure with the comfort of home. She thoroughly enjoyed playing bingo and gambling, always ready for a trip to Mohegan Sun in Connecticut or even Las Vegas for a little excitement. However, she was equally content staying in, relishing the peace and joy of her own home. Linda's green thumb was a true gift; she took great pride in her vegetable and floral garden, nurturing it with care and attention. Cooking was another of her passions, especially around the holidays, when she'd bake sweet treats to share as heartfelt gifts with everyone she loved. A devoted New England Patriots fan, she was also a football enthusiast, often cheering on her team with a spirited energy. She will be truly missed by all who had the opportunity to know her.
She is survived by her father, Leo Archambault and his wife Donna of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada; her five sisters, Susan Brault of Nashua, Donna Willhoite and her husband Virgil of Largo, FL, Michele Oates and her husband John "Scott" of Elk Park, NC, Sandra Hildenbrandt and her fiancé Paul Stoiku of Brighton, Ontario, Canada, and Gail McKenzie and her husband Mike of Hayden, AL; her uncle and aunt Paul and Cecile Archambault of Nashua; her former husband Michael Brailey of Milford; many cousins; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews. In addition to her neighbors of over 40 years, Carl and Barbara and their children who were like family and were always there for her.
In addition to her mother, Linda was predeceased by her brother-in-law Dan Brault and her nephew Paul Mihovetz.
Relatives and friends are invited to Linda's graveside service on FRIDAY, November 21st at 1 PM in St. Francis Xavier Cemetery, 75 Pinehill Avenue, Nashua, NH. Her interment will follow. In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to consider a donation to your charity of choice.

My friend Linda aka Lin Lin.
I worked with her for 43 years.
She always reminded me I was the first one she met at work and we were friends from that day on.
We were friends outside of work as well.
Christmas parties, get togethers at the V, and drives to the Cape,
One thing I respected about Linda was her honesty.
She never pulled any punches.
She was tough but fair.
She always told it like it was and that is a rare quality.
She gave me a plant for Christmas last year beautiful plant with pretty white flowers.
I have totally neglected that plant.
Neglected to water it. I found it on the floor one day coming to work.
I replanted it in a coffee cup and that plant just won´t die.
Linda my friend, challenge accepted.
RIP my friend.
