Linda was born on November 1, 1966 in New Haven, daughter of the late Angelo "Popcorn" and Catherine "Kaye" (Celone) DeMartino. Linda spent her life serving others, she was truly an angel on this earth, always unconditionally giving her time, love, attention and self to all those that she loved. Any person that needed help, a shoulder to cry or an ear to listen she was there for. During her career she worked as a bank teller with Citizens Bank. Linda loved her family and friends, they meant everything to her!! She loved spending time with her grandkids and family, riding on the back of her husband's Harley, she loved cooking & baking for anyone who wanted it, and her favorite holiday was Christmas. She spent the whole year preparing for the holidays! Linda's memory will forever be cherished and burn bright in all the lives of those she had touched.
