Linda S. Panzarella

Linda S. Panzarella (Horne), born on December 7, 1950, in Fitchburg, MA, USA. She was a beacon of love and strength, deeply cherished by her family and friends. A dedicated wife, a loving mother, and a resilient woman, Linda's life was marked by her immense love for her family and her unwavering spirit that carried her through all stages of life. As Emily Dickinson said, "Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality." In Linda's case, her love has indeed made her immortal in the hearts of those she touched.

Linda met the love of her life, Dominick Panzarella Sr., at a young age. Six weeks later, they were married, and from that day forward, they built a beautiful life together, marked by joy, shared dreams, and the creation of a family that became the center of their universe. Over their 55 years of marriage, Linda and Dominick had four children, eight grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. As a caretaker, Linda carried her thoughtful nature into her profession, providing comfort and care to those in need at the assisted living facility where she worked. She was also a long time waitress in her younger years at Oak Hill Country Club. In her free time, Linda found solace in reading and cherished spending time with her family. Linda's legacy is a testament to her dedication and resilience, reflected in the strength and unity of the family she leaves behind.

The stories and memories that Linda's family will forever share speak volumes about the life she lived. As the best mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, her love and dedication transcended generations.

As we remember Linda, we are reminded of a quote by Rumi, "Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul, there is no such thing as separation." Linda's love, her spirit, and her memory will forever be a part of those she has left behind. We invite you to share your memories and upload photos of Linda to the memorial page, to celebrate a life beautifully lived, a soul deeply loved, and a woman never to be forgotten.
