Linda passed away on Sunday morning November 14th while at the Elliott Hospital in Manchester NH surrounded by her loved ones.  She was 63 years of age and was living courageously with cancer for the last 9 years.

Born in Peoria Illinois, she was a beloved daughter of the late John E.

She worked from home as the chief operating officer and co-owner of Griffin Builders a local family-owned construction company for 40 years.  Her life was centered around her home, she loved gardening and landscaping.  She would frequently entertain and host family and friends in her Londonderry home, known to many as "The Griffin Compound".  She enjoyed spending her leisure time with friends and family at Foxwoods and annual leaf peeping up north with her husband.  But her greatest joy came when she welcomed her darling granddaughter "Gracie" into her life and most enjoyed the time spent with her.

In addition to her parents Linda was also predeceased by her sister Shirley Edmark–Zucchari.
