Linda Margaret (Breslin) Margarone, 71, entered into eternal rest peacefully surrounded by her family on December 19, 2023.
Born in White Plains, New York, on October 10, 1952. Linda was the third daughter of the late Michael and Mary (Toman) Breslin. Linda retired from Orange County Public Schools, where, in 2018, she was named as a finalist for Support Person of the Year. Previously employed with the Wappinger Central School district (New York), where she worked with kids with special needs as well as the Westchester County Department of Social Services.
Linda adored her grandchildren and loved cooking for her family and friends. She possessed an indomitable spirit, always ready to express her convictions, regardless of the prevailing consensus. She loved traveling and was always fond of returning to her parents' birthplaces in Ireland.
Linda is survived by her children, Michael Margarone and his wife Courtney, P.J. Margarone and his wife Melissa and Jaime Budd and her husband Jason; her beloved grandchildren, Payton, Taylor, Madelyn, Kaitlyn and Connor; brother, Jack Breslin and his wife Diane and her brother-in-law, Daniel Coldrick; scores of nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews both here in the United States and Ireland. Linda was predeceased by her parents Michael and Mary Breslin, her brother, James Breslin, and her beloved sisters, Rosemary McConologue and Nancy Coldrick.
Linda's sons would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the ICU staff at AdventHealth Hospital East Orlando for the respectful and attentive care provided to our family at this difficult time.
