Myers

Relatives and friends are most kindly invited to attend a celebration of life and memorial service  for Linda Myers, in the Welsh Funeral Home, 718 Broadway Chelsea, MA on Thursday December 21st from 4:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M.

Linda Myers, 66, of Melrose and previously Saugus, passed away on December 15, 2023. Linda was born to Jeannette and John Manning in Boston in 1957. She attended Braintree High where she was a majorette.

After graduating nursing school from Lasalle Junior College, she had a 30-year nursing career working at St. John of God and St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Brighton, Melrose Wakefield Hospital, CHA Everett (formerly the Whidden Hospital), among others. She held a variety of roles on the IV resource team, in the emergency room, and even supervising/training other nurses.

In her personal life, Linda was also a caretaker. While raising two children is a single-family household, she always found space in her home for others in need. She gave her children all the tools they needed to go out into the world and forge successful futures. She enjoyed cooking for anyone who would eat, hosting friends in her backyard by the firepit, and gardening. She was happiest on the beach lying in the sand and soaking in the sun. Family and friends describe her as fun loving, free spirited, and truly hilarious.

She is survived by her daughter, Vanessa Jacobson of Chelsea, her son-in-law Peter, and her first grandchild Thomas, her son, Thomas John Myers and his wife Mikayla Maillet of Haverhill, her mother Jeannette Manning, and her sister, Diane Doyle of Saugus, and her brother Joseph Manning, of Acushnet. She was predeceased by her father, John Manning, and her significant other Robert Grant with whom she spent almost 20 years.
