Linda Lee Dodge

LAKEVILLE — Linda (Hart) Dodge of Lakeville passed away unexpectedly on 2/4 while vacationing in Largo, Florida. She was born in Great Barrington, MA, to the late Norman and Eva Hart on 1/28/1943. Linda married her late husband, Henry Dodge, and moved permanently to Salisbury/Lakeville in 1960, where she was a proud resident until her passing. She was known to most as Nana, the name her grandchildren gave her. Linda was retired from Bakers Choice Products in Beacon Falls, CT, where she was a longtime office manager. She was active in many community functions, including SWSA as a volunteer in the “food shack” at the ski jumps, the political polls, and the Lakeville food pantry. The things she loved to do most were hosting family get-togethers, especially during the holiday season, attending her children’s and grandchildren’s many activities, spending time at the town grove, and the many get-togethers with her incredible circle of close friends. Nana is survived by her children Michael Dodge (Lisa) of North Haven, Stacey Dodge of North Canaan, and Donna Ryder (Ron) of Annapolis, Maryland. Her grandchildren Ryan Ryder (Jessica), Jonathan Ryder (Hannah), Brandon Ryder (Daphna), Thomas Dodge, Megan Baldessari, Nicholas Dodge, and Matthew Dodge, and her great-grandchildren Jett Ryder, Rex Ryder, and Ellie Ryder.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Lakeville Food Pantry.There will be a celebration of life in her remembrance in Lakeville at a date yet to be determined.
