Linda L. (Silvia) Perry, 79, of Westminster, passed away peacefully at her home on Monday, June 22, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

Born in Fitchburg on July 20, 1946, she was the daughter of the late Manuel and Lois Silvia. Linda graduated from Angelis Electrology School in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1984. She became a registered electrologist, instructor, and the owner of Linda Perry Electrology, where she proudly served clients for nearly 40 years.

Linda enjoyed building lasting relationships with her clients through her dedication, kindness, and caring nature. She also devoted many years of service to the Massachusetts Association of Electrologists, serving as Treasurer before being elected President from 2010 to 2020.

Outside of her career, Linda loved traveling, trips to the casino, playing bingo, browsing yard sales, and trips to Maine. She especially enjoyed shopping when it meant finding a great bargain for her grandchildren. Linda never passed up a good deal. Above all, she treasured the time she spent with her family and friends and will be remembered for the love, generosity, and warmth she shared with those closest to her.

Linda is survived by her beloved husband of 41 years, Al Perry of Westminster; two daughters, Cynthia Carreiro of Sterling and Tina Albano (Kevin) of Hampden; four sons, Erick Pakkila (Nikki) of Gardner, Mark Perry of Westminster, Michael Perry (Robin) of Fitchburg, and Tommy Perry (Kim) of Gardner; her sister, Sandy Silvia of Fitchburg; 17 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.

Last, but certainly not least, she leaves behind her beloved dog, Teddy, whose faithful companionship brought her great comfort and joy.

Besides her parents, Linda was predeceased by her son, Shawn Pakkila Wirtanen; her daughter, Penny Pakkila; and two brothers and two sisters.
