Linda Connell born in Malden to James Connell and Phyllis (King) Connell also of Malden. She was predeceased by her brother Mark Connell, she is survived by her sister Susan Connell-Keene of New Hampshire, Timothy Connell and his wife Angelina of Kuwait and Florida, and to Sharon Connell of Stoneham Mass. She was Aunt to Richard, Joseph, and Derek Keene of New Hampshire and Sara and Jimmy Connell of Florida.
She was born on August 7th, 1973, and was taken too soon after a quick illness on February 17th, 2026.
For many years, she dedicated herself to her work at Kelly Jeep of Lynnfield, where she built lasting friendships and was known not only for her strong work ethic, but for her laughter, compassion, and generous spirit.
She was especially grateful for the friendship and comfort of Kaity Mori and Stephanie Allain, who stood by her side through the years with unwavering support, countless laughs, and cherished memories. Their bond was a true testament to the love and loyalty she inspired in others.
Above all, she will be remembered for her strength, her caring nature, and her love for Halloween. Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched and the love she gave so freely.
She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
Visiting hours will be held at the A. J. Spadafora Funeral Home, 865 Main Street, Malden on Saturday February 21st from 12:00pm-3:00pm. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend.
