Linda Howe Obituary
She was born on December 22, 1952, the daughter of the late Harold Flood and Eleanor Braley Flood. She graduated from Nokomis High School with the class of 71 and had worked for both Dexter Shoe and Northeast Shoe for over 20 years and retired in 2020 from Duvaltec, formerly Guilford of Maine, after giving over 30 years of committed employment.
Linda was a doer, a giver, and a maker of beautiful things. She had a heart of gold and was always thinking of others. She enjoyed the casinos, going to yard sales, traveling, playing a good game of cribbage, poker, or BINGO, and absolutely loved spending time with her family. Those were the moments she cherished.
She is survived by her two daughters, Carrie Gyles and Beckie Warger and husband Paul; grandchildren: Samuel Walker, Katelyn Walker, Sadie Warger, Ben Warger, and Matthew Gyles and wife Jessica; great-grandchildren: Connor and Amelia; siblings: Andrew Flood and wife Loretta, Michael Flood, Edwin Flood, Peter Flood, Tina Bradford and husband Mark, Martin Flood, Christine Rowe, Tricia Bubar and husband Reggie, Aimee Graves and husband Steve, and Jennifer LaBrecque and husband Joey; many nieces and nephews; and her grand fur babies.
She was predeceased by her parents; brother, Joe Flood; sister, Frances Huff and husband Harry; and brother-in-law, Dennis Rowe.
The family will receive friends from 2-4 p.m., Saturday, March 14, 2026, at the Shorey-Nichols Funeral Home, 191 Hartland Ave., Pittsfield. A private graveside service will be held by the family at the Village Cemetery, Warren Hill Road, Palmyra, Maine.
