About Linda Reed
Born: June 05, 1947
Died: October 07, 2015
Linda Murphy Reed, of Hebron, CT died October 7, 2015.

Born in Houlton, Maine on June 5, 1947, Linda was the only daughter of Marguerite (Grava) and Fred L. Murphy. She graduated fourth in her class from Houlton High School, earned an Associate Degree from Husson College, Bangor, Maine and a Para-legal Degree from Manchester Community College, both with honors. Her real jobs (she picked potatoes in Northern Maine) consisted of Secretary to the Town Manager, Houlton, Maine, Legal Secretary at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft and parent company United Technologies and Executive Secretary to the Director of Mergers and Acquisitions, United Technologies.

Following the birth of her first child, Linda enjoyed the luxury of being a Hebron Housewife. In addition to loving her family, she enjoyed cruising in the Caribbean, basking in the sun, especially at Florida beaches, and shopping for bargains at tag sales.

Linda is survived by her husband Frank, daughter Jennie True and son-in-law Tim of North Andover, MA, twin sons Jason Reed of Herndon, VA and Jonathan Reed of Hebron. Also, her brother Larry and sister-in-law Dianne Murphy and sister-in-law Toni Murphy. She was blessed with two granddaughters, Macy Hayes True and Molly Reed True. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her brother Anthony.

At Linda's request, there will be no calling hours. Her ashes will be buried in a pleasant place called Allen Grove, Illinois, in the Reed family plot, at the convenience of her family. Care of arrangements has been entrusted to Aurora-McCarthy Funeral Home of Colchester. www.auroramccarthyfuneralhome.com
