Visit the Howell Family Funeral Home, Inc. website to view the full obituary.

Linda Wickham, 73, passed away leaving behind a lifetime of love, kindness, and devotion to her family. 

Linda was predeceased by her husband, Walt, and by her parents, George and Louise Connell. She was also predeceased by her sister, Cathy Bosma. 

She is lovingly remembered by her daughter, Christine Fournier, and her husband, Ted. She was the beloved "Gran" to her grandson, Alex and his wife Kirstin; her granddaughter, Taylor; and her cherished great-grandson, Nash.

Linda is also survived by her siblings: Barbara Tesa and her husband Rudi, Tom Connell and his wife Grace, and her sister Connie Bassani. She will be deeply missed by her many treasured nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews, to whom she was affectionately known as "Aunt Gran".

Linda shared her time between family throughout the tri-state area and her home in the Poconos, places where many cherished memories were made. 

Throughout her life she enjoyed various crafting projects, but she found the most joy in her projects when children were by her side. Children brought her the greatest joy, and spending time with her family was what she looked forward to most. 

An avid animal lover, Linda cared for many beloved pets throughout her life, always opening her heart and home to them. 

She will be deeply missed by her family and friends, who will forever remember her warmth, compassion, and the love she shared so freely. 

A memorial service will be held at a later date. Details will be announced when they become available.

Arrangements and cremation are entrusted to Howell Family Funeral Home, Inc., Edward R. Howell, Funeral Director, 269 Belmont Street, Waymart, PA 18472.
