Linda M. (MacDonald) Johnson, age 61, passed away peacefully in the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts on Monday, July 30, 2018. Born in Boston on December 30, 1956, she was the daughter of Alan and Claire (McCarthy) MacDonald. She was raised in Norwood, Massachusetts and graduated from Norwood High School with the Class of 1974. Linda continued her education at Fitchburg State College, earning her Bachelor's Degree in 1978, and began her working career in the education field. After a short time working in education, Linda began her career in computer programing, taking a position with Robbins and Company.

Linda married the love of her life, John H. Johnson, IV, on November 5, 1983 in Saint Catherine's Church in Norwood. The young couple initially made their home together in Norwood before settling in Walpole in 1993. Linda went on to take a position with Aurora in Rhode Island and later took positions with Dunkin Donuts in Bellingham and Crimson Rose in Rhode Island, working as an IT Business Analyst. Most recently, Linda was working at Logix Health in Bedford, continuing her career in the field of IT Business Analysis.

Linda enjoyed taking care of her home in Walpole, spending countless hours maintaining her house and yard. More than anything, Linda loved spending time with her family.
