Linda M. (Burkhead) Price, of Weymouth, MA, found peace on October 16th, 2025, at the age of 78. Born in Boston on August 12th, 1947, she was the daughter of the late William Burkhead and Marilyn E. (Fraser) Burkhead. Linda was born and raised in Boston before settling in Quincy and then later in Weymouth, where she raised her family and made countless lasting memories.
Linda dedicated her life to caring for her home and family. Her nurturing spirit, generosity, and love for others touched everyone who knew her. She found joy in the simple moments—watching the ocean waves, sharing ice cream with her loved ones, Dunkin's coffee with a coffee cake muffin and most of all, spending time surrounded by friends and family.
Linda is lovingly survived by her three children: Troy Stewart of Quincy; Jonathan Price and his longtime girlfriend, Kayla, of New Bedford; and Mathew Price and his wife, Samantha, of Whitman. She was the proud and devoted grandmother of Isabella, Juliana, Mathew Jr., Earl A. Stewart IV, Alyssa, Joey, Jennie, Leanne, Kristin, Jessica, Eddie, Malinda, Shawn.
She was predeceased by her husband, Earl A. Stewart II, and her children Paul Price, William Price, Robert Price, Marilyn Price, and Earl A. Stewart III.
