Lynda Marie McCarthy (née Rodrigue)

October 29, 1948 - October 24, 2024

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Lynda Marie McCarthy, beloved wife of Dan McCarthy, on October 24, 2024, just days before her 76th birthday. Lynda passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by the love of her family, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Lynda was a devoted mother to Michael (Julie), Tim, and Amy (Mike), and a cherished nana to her five grandchildren: Thomas, Rosemary, Anna, Lily, and Evelyn. She was a caring sister to her brother Phil Rodrigue (Sue) and a loving aunt to Marc, Andrew (Christine), and their children Oliver, Elliot, and Abigail. Lynda is also remembered by her extended family, including the McCarthys and many nieces and nephews, who were all dear to her heart.

An inspiring educator, Lynda dedicated her life to sharing her love of learning. She was also known for her beautiful knitting, artistic talents, and meticulous gardening. Her hands crafted not only stunning creations but also a legacy of love and kindness that will be remembered by all who knew her.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Flights for Hope, the organization where she rescued her beloved pup, Maya. Please mention Lynda’s name in the EMT transfer notes.
