Linda was born October 26, 1945 in Boston, MA, daughter of the late Harold and Mildred (Vandine) Bausemer. She was schooled and grew up in the Boston area. Linda was a big city girl who decided one day to travel to Hudson with a friend to ride horses. They were directed to see a guy Roger who had horses that they could ride. In 1967 she married Roger on Xmas eve. The city girl now was moving to rural Hudson to raise horses and other animals. Linda was always very fond of animals and had a way with them. She always had dogs and cats and other stray animals that came to the door. Linda and Roger were fortunate to live on Lowell Road when they first were married next to the Charbonneau’s. She always referred to the Charbonneau’s as family and spoke of the times living there very fondly. Later Linda and Roger moved to Sullivan Road where she lived for almost 50 years. Linda loved to garden, for a big city girl she had the greenest of “Green” thumbs. Her flower gardens were spectacular and vibrant. She had an amazing skill of growing vegetable gardens and learned how to can and preserve the summer harvest for the winter months. One her greatest joys was to go shopping and especially find a bargain. She loved to shop and buy something on special even if she didn’t need it, she would say it was “on sale”. The basement and closets were always stocked with 4 of these and 6 of those to never run out of something. In 1977 Linda and Roger purchased Gate City Monument in Nashua, NH where they operated the business for 43 years. The two made a great team, Roger was the hard worker and got the work completed to perfection and Linda ran the office and the finances. Linda loved to talk, talk to every customer that came in, sometimes for hours after the sale was made. She had a special fondness of talking on the phone. She would talk to all her friends for hours on the phone to catch up on life. Linda especially loved talking to her brother Thomas about anything and nothing at all, just loved to talk. Linda loved kids, kids of all ages, boys, girls, she just loved kids. She loved to make kids happy. Linda was a great mom of two sons and always wanted more, especially a girl but couldn’t have anymore kids after her second son. Many years later she was blessed with her granddaughter Samantha. She was so excited when she received the news when Samantha was on the way. She loved her granddaughter so much, she would say “don’t get me wrong, I love you boys… but I REALLY love my granddaughter!” Linda was known as Grammy when Samantha was born. She would like to buy things and spoil Samantha whenever she could get it passed her father. Linda made sure of getting Samantha presents to unwrap for Xmas to spoil her one last time.
