Linda Vashon

WINSLOW – Linda Vashon, 76, of Winslow, passed away Nov. 6, 2022 at her home, with her family by her side, of Alzheimer’s.

She was born in Waterville and attended Winslow High School. From there she was a stay at home mom, until she moved back to Maine and then went to work at Colby College for 30 years and loved seeing the kids every day.

Linda enjoyed knitting and crocheting. She and her husband, Doug, enjoyed visiting and eating out at their favorite restaurants.

Linda was preceded by her husband, Doug Vashon; her dad, Loredon Vigue of Vassalboro, her mom, Yvonne McCrater and her stepdad, Hermon McCrater of Winslow.

She is survived by her sister, Joan and Walter Sward of Manchester, Conn.; and special nephew, John Tweedie; also daughters Glenda Lessard of Waterville, Lynette and Mike Bolduc of Winslow, Sherri and John Brooker of Palmyra; several grandchildren, Amanda and Mark Bonilla of New York, Samantha Lessard of New York, Michael Poirier of Fairfield, Crystal and Fuad of Vassalboro, and Chelsea and Haley Morin of Augusta. Mom will be sadly missed and is now finally at peace.

Services will be held Nov. 26 at 9:15 a.m. at Notre Dame Church on Silver Street in Waterville. Burial will be Dec. 3 at Saint Francis Cemetery, weather permitting.

I would like to thank all the caregivers who made this all possible to keep Mom home, which was so important to her.
