1944 – 2014

AUBURN — Linda A. Groves, 70, of Auburn passed away peacefully Saturday, Nov. 15, at the Hospice House in Auburn.

She was born on July 30, 1944, the daughter of the late Howard and Noella (Breton) Groves. She lived and attended school in Auburn and worked at Pathways for many years.

She enjoyed her family and her friends at Bolster Heights, where she resided and always had a big smile for everyone. Linda loved playing games and spent many hours doing crafts that she shared with family and friends. Linda was always interested in her cousins’ families’ activities, especially sporting events and family gatherings during holidays and special occasions. She enjoyed her trips to Florida, attending Pine Tree Camp in Belgrade and her trip to Ship Ahoy in Boothbay. Linda was also a long-time member of Sacred Heart Church in Auburn.

She will be missed by all who knew her. Linda is survived by her cousins, Irene Bureau and her husband, Normand, Pauline Penley, Joseph Breton and his wife, Irene, Doris Conley, Nancy Reed, Donna Forgues and Leo Groves.

The family wishes to thank Bolster Heights Health Care Facility, the countless caring staff (too many to name) who took care of Linda on a daily basis, and to especially thank Ina, Donna, Sue and Louise for all they did for Linda while she resided there. A special thanks also to Dr. Lise Cloutier, Dr. David Burke, Dr. Thomas Hattan and, of course, the Hospice House of Androscoggin Home Care and Hospice, who provided care and compassion for Linda and her family.
