Friday, May 27th at home. Linda was born on May 12, 1940, in Poughkeepsie, NY to William and Lucille Albrecht. She grew up in Charter Oak Terrace in Hartford, CT where she met Bill, her childhood sweetheart. Linda graduated from Hartford Public High School, and she and Bill were married and moved to Glastonbury where they raised their three children. While Linda held different administrative positions, she devoted a majority of her time to caring for her family and keeping a beautiful home, and later in life caring for her grandchildren. She showed her love through her delicious cooking and holiday meals, and countless crocheted, cross-stitched, and needlepoint creations for her children and grandchildren. With a love for these hobbies, Linda owned her own retail business in Glastonbury for a short time, called Stitch n' Knit. As a senior in town, Linda frequented the Glastonbury Senior Center where she enjoyed bingo and crocheting for charity. Linda also loved music, crossword puzzles, Scrabble, and spending time with family and friends. She is survived by a son and daughter-in-law William and Patty Ferris Jr. of Berlin; two daughters and sonsin-law Cheryl and Glenn Lagasse of Glastonbury, Elizabeth and Jim Goodman of Sharon, MA; one brother, William Albrecht, Jr., of Florida, her grandchildren Bill, Jim, Ashley, Erin, Glenn, Taryn, husband Greg, and their daughter Eloise, and Olivia and Sam; many nieces and nephews and cousins. Linda is predeceased by her dear husband of 52 years, William Ferris, Sr., beloved sister April Presta, and beloved niece Jennifer Lepore. Funeral services will be private and a memorial service and celebration of Linda's life will be held at a later date.
