Linda Miller Pollard

Linda was born January 9, 1942 in Stamford, CT, the oldest daughter of the late Daniel and Helen Miller.

She was the wife of 54 years to Ernest Pollard. Linda grew up in Stamford CT and spent most of her adult life in Danbury, CT where she raised and led her family. She was a longtime elementary school teacher. After retirement she lived in Southport, NC and Heritage Village in Southbury, CT.

Linda is survived by her son, Scott Pollard, his wife, Jennifer, of Wilmington NC, and their children Zac, Lucas and Abi Pollard; also her daughter, Lisa (Pollard) Bigham, her husband, Steve Bigham of Southbury CT, and their children Leah and Erin Bigham. Linda is also survived by a sister, Gayle Ingersoll of Knoxville TN.

She attended Endicott College, Syracuse University and received her masters in education from Columbia University. Linda spent many years as a 5th-grade teacher at Stadley Rough Elementary School in Danbury, as well as other schools in the district. During her retirement, she was an active member at Trinity United Methodist Church in Southport, NC, including her volunteer work with its prayer-shawl group.

In her free time, Linda loved to quilt, crochet, read, travel, scrapbook, get her nails done and be a supporter of her children and grandchildren, her greatest pride. Linda loved that she was able to split her time between her families in North Carolina and Connecticut.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that contributions be made to the Alzheimer’s Association

and to Lower Cape Fear Life Care.
