Linda L. Vaiciulis

February 22, 2021

Linda L. Vaiciulis, 75, of Stafford Springs, CT, passed away on Monday, February 22, 2021. She was born on June 22, 1945 in Rutland, VT. As the youngest of six sisters, Linda was predestined to be a force. Fun-loving trouble always finds the baby in the family, so she quickly learned to be strong. She married her high school sweetheart and started their family, having three children. Raising her family brought her to years of dance lessons and recitals, baseball and football games, and always camping in the summer. During the younger years, Aunt Linda was always at the center of the party where she was surrounded by many, well-behaved and not so well-behaved, niece and nephew pranksters. She worked at the Stafford Printers with a feisty bunch of gal pals, spent some years as a spirited waitress at Ronnie’s, and later retired from Linatex Corp. She was lucky to have enjoyed life-long friendships with people who always brought laughter, but it was the daily 3:00 PM phone calls that kept her going in tough times. She is survived by her daughter, Karen Vaiciulis and her companion Art Houle; son, James Vaiciulis and his wife Colleen; four special grand children, Taylor, Nathan, Annie, and James; sisters, Barbara Duquette, and Janice Collins and her husband Harold; sisters-in-law, Barbara Mercier and her husband Bob, and Eileen Vaiciulis; and brother-in-law, Andy Vaiciulis. She was predeceased by her husband of 54 years, James Vaiciulis; daughter, Christine Vaiciulis; sisters, Shirley Baldwin, Genevieve Tetrault and her husband Sylvan, Shirley Baldwin, and Sandra VanAlstyne and her husband Al; and brother-in-law, Ken Duquette. A calling hour will be held on Thursday, February 25, 2021 from 10-11 A.M., with a funeral service to take place at 11 A.M., at Introvigne Funeral Home, Inc., 51 East Main St., Stafford Springs, CT. Burial will follow in St. Edward Cemetery, Stafford Springs, CT. Memorial donations may be made to the Ronald McDonald House of Delaware, 1901 Rockland Rd., Wilmington, DE 19803.
