After being a stay-at-home mom with a daycare in her home in Ashland, Mass. for many years, she enjoyed working outside the home which gave her the opportunity to learn and grow and make new friends, especially her best friend Becky St. Jean, her beloved coworker from Dr. Szela’s office, where Linda became a receptionist after earning her degree in 2003.In consideration of the health and safety of friends and family due to the pandemic, there will be a private burial service. A celebration of Linda’s life will be held at a later date.
