Linda was the beloved wife of Frank Paterno and the mother of Josh and the late Jeffrey Humphrey. She was the step mother of Rachel Paterno. She was a wonderful grandmother to Madeline, Leah, Catherine and Anna Humphrey. Sister of Russell and Susan Taormina, she is also survived by her first husband Willard Humphrey.
She lived her 65 years with a great deal of joy, taking every opportunity to follow her love of music and travel. But it was her home and family that she placed above all else. She was born and lived all of her life in Kearny, N.J. where she raised her two sons and her two dogs. She will be missed more than words can say. However, she will live on in a million memories for everyone who knew her generous spirit and tremendous heart.
