Linda Mae

Arsenault

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Linda Mae Arsenault, a cherished soul who journeyed to her eternal rest on April 19, 2026, at the Massachusetts General Hospital. At the age of 77, Linda faced her struggles with pulmonary disease with great courage, embodying strength and grace until the very end.
Born on September 14, 1948, in the serene town of Bangor, Maine, Linda was the beloved daughter of the late Gerald Leon and Margaret (Martin) Dyer. As a young girl, her family found their home in East Boston and Chelsea, where she would build a life rich with love. A proud graduate of Chelsea public schools, she embraced her community and remained a resident of Chelsea for most of her years.
In her early days, Linda was united in marriage to Frank Arsenault, together raising two daughters and a son in a home filled with warmth and laughter. Devoted to her family, she created a nurturing sanctuary, celebrating life's joys and the little moments around the table. Her passion shone through as she reveled in games of chance, always bringing a spark of joy to those around her.
Linda is predeceased by her loving husband Frank, and her siblings Dickie and Leroy Dyer, whose memories will forever be etched in the hearts of those who knew her. She is survived by her beloved daughter, Lisa Pedi, Debbie Doyle and her husband Bob, and Frank Dyer. Linda's legacy lives on in her cherished grandchildren—Bobby, Christina, Holly, Michael, and Frank—and her great-grandchild.
In this time of grief, Linda's warmth and indomitable spirit continue to resonate with her friends and family. She is also survived by numerous dear friends who will remember her fondly.

Relatives and friends are invited to honor Linda's memory at a memorial gathering to be held at the Welsh Funeral Home, 718 Broadway, Chelsea, on Wednesday from 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. The services will conclude at the Funeral Home, providing a time for reflection, remembrance, and celebration of a life beautifully lived.
Linda Mae Arsenault will be deeply missed but never forgotten, as she leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and cherished memories.
