She enjoyed the company of others, and could converse for hours, if allowed. Known to be the “life of the party”, her personality filled the room, leaving a wake of infectious laughter, joy, and happiness wherever she went. Linda’s love for others led her to once open her home to a child in need of a safe haven, accepting guardianship of the child and assisting him into adulthood. Linda was a longtime volunteer at many local programs including S.H.A.R.E. as well as being an active member and volunteer of her church. Church activities were numerous and included active participation in the Parish Council, Pantry Shelf, and Friendly Visitor Program as well as being a Eucharistic Minister, Lecter, and CCD Teacher. However, Linda’s true passion in life, outside of her family, was her job as a teacher’s aide, secretary and administrative assistant at the Bales and Heron Pond Elementary schools. It is here, for over two (2) decades she had the ability to share her love, spreading kindness to hundreds of growing young souls as well as many teachers and staff. Linda is survived by her immediate family, husband Raymond G. Pelchat, and her three (3) son’s Steven, Kevin, Jason, her younger brother, Arthur Cirioni as well as four (4) grandchildren, one (1) great grandchild and three (3) daughters in-law.
