ROCHESTER - Linda J. Bolduc, 72, of Adrien Circle, died on Thursday, August 6, 2015, lovingly surrounded by her children.
She was born in Dover, New Hampshire on November 30, 1942, daughter of George and Martha (England) Merrill.
She was raised and spent many happy years as a resident of South Berwick, Maine, before finally moving to Rochester, New Hampshire.
She was a graduate of South Berwick High, Class of 1961. She met and married the love of her life Raymond R. Bolduc, Sr. and together they spent many happy years raising their family before his passing in 1982.
She worked briefly outside the home but her greatest job of all was being a wife, mother and homemaker.
She enjoyed camping, playing Bingo and traveling with her friends from the South Berwick Senior Center. She also enjoyed her Tuesday evenings at The Good Old Sports in Rochester. But what made her truly happiest was spending time with her family and many friends. She loved a good party and never turned down an invitation. She was always the first to lend a helping hand and had a huge heart and infectious laugh.
Members of her family include her son Raymond R. Bolduc, Jr. and his wife Lori of Manchester, New Hampshire, daughters Lisa M. Lefebvre (Bolduc) and her husband Hank of Rochester, New Hampshire, and Tanya L. Poole (Bolduc) and her husband Kevin of Rochester, New Hampshire; four grandchildren, Kassie and her fiancé Ryan, Brandon and his wife Jordan, Olivia, Tammy and her husband Danny and "grand-doggies" Maggie and Lucy; two great-grandchildren, Leah and Castor and one great-grandbaby on the way!
She is also survived by her "special sister" Therese Merrill, her loving cousin and "partner in crime" Paula Connelly and her "daughter" Darlene Bolduc, all of whom she loved and adored. She also had many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, all who she dearly loved as well.
She was predeceased by her husband Raymond R. Bolduc, Sr., her parents George and Martha Merrill, her brothers Stuart, Osmond and Stanley Merrill and a sister Dora June Holder.
She will be missed beyond words. She has left a huge hole in our hearts but because of her faith and ours, we know we will see her again. "LOVE YOU MORE!"
