Linda Jean Romano

Linda Jean Romano, 71, of Wethersfield, entered into eternal rest on January 27, 2022. Linda was born in Springfield, Vermont on July 1, 1950 and was the daughter of Raymond and the late Bertha Wilson.

Linda left Vermont to attend CCSU and pursue her dream of becoming a math teacher. While at a party at CCSU a man name “Horace” introduced himself. She would later find out his real name was Orazio and she loved him for all the days of her life. She often spoke, showing that infectious smile of hers, of when she first met Orazio’s family. She was so nervous to meet Orazio’s father, Big Tom. She was immediately cradled into their love, and immersed in their Italian traditions, so well that she took to all of it as if it was her birthright. They, along with many others will miss her dearly.

Linda will be forever missed by her husband of 50 years, Orazio, her children who were the center of her life, sons, Thomas and wife Sarah, William and wife Lindsay, daughters, Amy and Jessica. She will also be missed by her grandchildren who were her pride and joy, Madelyn Rose, Amelia Joy and William Reid. She also leaves her beloved father, Raymond “Bill” Wilson and wife Cynthia, sisters-in-law, Ann Bascetta (Antonino), Paula Romano (Michael) and Jo-Ann Formica along with several great nieces, great nephew, cousins and friends. In typical Linda style, and simply said, Family and Friends were the center of her universe.

She was predeceased by her mother, Bertha Wilson, father and mother-in-law, Gaetano and Concetta Romano and brother-in-law Richard Formica.
