Linda grew up in Lynn and worked for Raytheon as an administrative assistant for 15 years. She made connections with everyone no matter where she went and would become a favorite of many. She was thoughtful, giving and had a great sense of humor. She spent the last 8 years of her life as an Epping resident close to her family. She was an avid Epping Blue Devil fan and you would often find her on the bleachers in the gym or outside on the sideline of the soccer/baseball fields cheering on her grandchildren and their teammates. One of her favorite things to do was to attend sports games, band concerts, recitals or ceremonies for all of her grandchildren. They were her pride and joy and the light of her life. She cherished each and every one of them and loved to spend time with family as much as possible. Holidays were her favorite when all of her children and grandchildren would gather together. She showered them with gifts, snickerdoodles, cards, love and support. She loved spending summer vacations on the beach in York, Me with family. Linda loved to bake, do puzzles, watch Big Bang Theory and attend St. Michael Church in Exeter. We are going to miss her so much!
Calling hours will take place at Brewitt Funeral Home, 9 Pleasant St., Epping, NH on Sunday, August 17th from 3-5pm. A Celebration of Life service will take place at St. Michael Church in Exeter on Monday, August 18th at 10am followed by a burial at Prospect Cemetery in Epping.
The family would like extend a heartfelt thanks to friends and extended family who visited Linda and provided support and comfort to her and us. We also would like to thank the staff and nursing team at Colonial Poplin and Hospice team for their care, support and love for Linda during her stay there. She will be missed by so many.
