Linda J. Kelleher was called home by our heavenly father on January 31,2026 surrounded by her loving family.

Linda was very proud of her work as an electronics engineer in the Silicon Valley CA. After moving to NY she continued working in various roles while remaining dedicated to her family.

Linda is survived by her soul mate and loving husband of 44 years Gerald Kelleher. Her children Steven (Michelle), Melanie (Michael), Katie (Thomas), Matthew (Kimberly); grand-children, Justin, Brooke (Emilio), Jamie (Tyler), Arabelle, Sadie, Aidan, Alaina, Julian, Morgan(Joshua), Madelyn, Damien, and great-grandchildren, Graham and Alice.

She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, bonus children and friends she shared a close bond with. She was a beloved mother who touched many lives.

Linda found happiness in date nights with her husband at O'Toole's, casinos and Proctor's theater. Hot summer days by the pool and cool nights by the fire. Spontaneous kitchen dance parties while listening to her favorite songs. Football Sunday's cheering for the Miami Dolphins with her family. Linda's most cherished time was spent with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She will be remembered for her unwavering love of her family. Gone from our sight but never from our hearts. She made the world a better place just by being in it.

A celebration of life will be at a later date.
