Linda Louise Caffejian, age 77, of Fresno, California passed away on Monday, April 22, 2024. Linda was born at Mary's Help Hospital in San Francisco to Vivian (Georgia) and Newton John Caffejian on January 2, 1947. Linda was a career educator serving in several capacities ranging from primary grades through the University level. She served in the classroom as well as reading and special education support positions. During her long career she met many remarkable students and educators. In her own words she shared that all of these people impacted her life and many of their gifts became part of her life quilt. Linda left these words behind for us "Although I didn't have children of my own I had some very special friends who encouraged friendships with their children and grandchildren. At significant moments in my life I was given a baby to hold, sometimes for hours. Those babies knew that they had a special role in creating a shelter of comfort for me. I guess I could write for hours and hours about the many human connections I was blessed to participate in. Some of these connections were for brief moments in time and some of them were a lifetime." Linda was preceded in death by her parents, many other family members and a bouquet of beautiful women friends. Linda is survived by her sister Randy, husband Bob, several special Fresno cousins, and many Croatian family members in various parts of the world. She is also survived by members of the Frederick family, especially dear Clare, who made sure her increasing needs were addressed. Other younger friends were (are) on call to help her. Linda noted that there is no way she could thank all the special people who journeyed with her during ordinary and difficult days. She hopes that throughout her life she sis express gratitude in unique ways. Linda was a member of St. Paul's Catholic Church Newman Center from 1964 to the present.
