Linda Ann (Heffernan) Cadan, 67, passed away on August 18, 2024, in Norwalk, Connecticut.
Born on December 7, 1956, in New Haven, Connecticut to her parents, Thomas Heffernan and Candida (Candy) Nuzzo Heffernan.
Linda attended St. Mary's High School in New Haven and graduated in the class of 1975. She went on to study at the University of Bridgeport School of Nursing, where she graduated with an Associate's Degree and began her career as a Registered Nurse (RN). As an RN, Linda supported patients across the country, spending time in intensive care units in Massachusetts, Florida, California and Nevada, and ultimately, across the state of Connecticut, including at St. Raphael, Yale New Haven and Greenwich Hospital. Among her patients, Linda was renowned for her compassion, empathy, and sense of humor.
Linda was an exceptional cook, and loved traveling and enjoying family time outdoors. Her home was always open to friends and family, creating a warm and welcoming environment. She was a committed mother and dedicated herself to supporting her children's passions, interests, and dreams.
Linda is survived by her sons, Seth and Sam Cadan, and her siblings, John and Jean Heffernan.
Services for Linda were held privately at the Temple Shalom Cemetery in Norwalk.

Oh I am so sorry. Linda and I had a conversation on Facebook in January. I am so glad we were able to catch up. So many memories from St. Mary's- our table in the cafeteria, the trip we all took to Florida in 1975, the mixers, the proms and more than anything the friendships that endured even as we lost touch and then caught up on social media. I am heartbroken.
My deepest condolences to Linda's sons and Jeanne and John.
