Linda Barton Obituary
Linda was dearly loved by her husband, daughter, seven siblings, many cousins and nieces and nephews and countless friends she cherished throughout her life.
She enjoyed traveling to tropical paradises, interior designing, taking pictures, and hanging out with her "posse" at the lake on the cove on Pine Island. But Linda will mostly be remembered for the selfless loving care she gave to family members in need of assistance. She generously volunteered her time to ease others' burdens and provide comfort and care in those difficult times.
Linda is survived by her husband Bruce Barton; and daughter Jenna Flynn; her sisters, Jeanne (Len) Mikula and Maryann (Jim) Gatheral; and brothers: Gerard, Timothy (Stephanie), Marc (Claudia), Daniel (Christine) and Bryan Manville. Our beloved sister-in-law Dori (Dumais) Manville predeceased her in January of 2024.
Linda will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but her legacy of love and care will live on in our hearts. Services will be held privately with her family at a future date.

Linda was the oldest of eight siblings I´m the youngest.
In our adult years we formed a special bond. She was always there to lend a helping hand.
When I had my daughter Megan Linda helped with daycare. Megan loved and treasured the time they spent together. She treated Megan like the granddaughter she didn´t have. Jeanne (the middle sister) said it best about our special bond of 3 sisters. I´m still struggling accepting that I can´t FaceTime her or hear about her Wednesday "The Ladies of the Lake" meetings. Not getting the chance to visit and experience her new life in Florida. I love you and miss you. May you be in a better place

Linda was my "roommate", for a couple months while her and Bruce's Pine Island home was being rebuilt after Hurricane Ian. Although it was a stressful time, I cherish our many days together especially our "girl dinners" of wine and cheese and crackers and lots of sharing and laughing and crying. I miss her so, as all the ladies of the lake, and posse do.

I will always remember Linda's sharp wit and self-deprecating sense of humor. Our family gatherings will never be the same without her funny quips and unwavering love support for all of us. I will never forget being part of three sisters, all so different, but still close in heart. Say "hi" to mom and dad we miss you all so much. Love, Jeanne (middle sis)
