Linda Kitchen

WILLIAMSTOWN - Linda Marie Kitchen, 52, died peacefully at her home on July 28, 2016, surrounded by the love of her family.
She was born in Barre City on August 4, 1963 to the late Lloyd and Patricia Farnham. She met and married the late Timothy Kitchen in Alaska on November 9, 1989. He predeceased her on September 15, 2005.
Linda graduated from Williamstown High School, Williamstown, and went on to further her education in Forestry and Accounting. Linda worked for Unisea on the fishing boats alongside her husband. In 1991 she moved to Vermont and worked at Fairmont Farm, East Montpelier for many years before moving back to Oregon where Tim’s family lived. Linda worked as a Private Caregiver for many years returning to Vermont late 2011 where she resided with her sister, Martha. For the last few years she worked as a Personal Care Attendant for Shawn, a young man who meant the world to her.
Linda had a great love of the outdoors: fishing, hunting, camping, gardening, rides “on the hill” where Martha and Linda could be found sitting on the picnic table watching the sun set and drinking a beer. Linda also achieved a “green belt” in Karate; she enjoyed estate sales, riding the mountain side to see what new things we could find to do and believe me we always came up with something.
Linda is survived by her sister and best friend Martha Stromme, brother Edwin Farnham and his wife, Rilla and sister Amy Molinario and her husband, Robert. She is survived by many nieces and nephews who meant the world to her: Michael Stromme, Richmond; Edwin, Jimmy, Nicholas and Britney of Williamstown, Autumn and Ahna Taylor of Williamstown; Robert and Haleigh Molinario as well as a special grandnephew Daniel Farnham. Linda is also survived by several aunts and uncles, cousins and friends.
The service to honor Linda’s life will be celebrated Sunday, August 7, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. in the Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy Street, Barre with interment after the service at West Hill Cemetery, Williamstown. Following the interment there will be a celebration of her life at Martha and Linda’s home, 767 VT Route 14, Williamstown.
