Linda Ann Santorelli Tramontano, age 68, passed away peacefully on Saturday morning, August 8, 2026, after a long and courageous battle with ALS. Linda was born on March 8, 1958, in New York City.
She and her husband Ronnie owned and operated West Boca Karate for more than 40 years. West Boca Karate was their baby, and it was there that Linda truly shined. Her natural gift was helping others, and she had a remarkable way of making every student, parent, and friend feel like the most important person in the room.
Linda treasured her life with her husband Ronnie and was always on the go, whether visiting her mother, her stepdaughter, her nieces and nephew, or her sisters. She was deeply devoted to her husband and believed that life's greatest blessings were God, family, friends, and food. Let’s not forget about her love for Baking. Her kindness, generosity, and ability to make everyone feel welcomed will be remembered by all who knew and loved her.
Linda was predeceased by her father Carmine Santorelli. Linda is survived by her loving husband Ronnie Tramontano; her mother Marie Santorelli; her sister Theresa Fowler Webb and her husband Bradley Webb; her sister Angela Santorelli; her sister Nancyanne Vertullo and her husband Tony Vertullo; her stepdaughter Jennifer Kennedy and her husband John Kennedy; her stepson Ron Tramontano Jr.; her granddaughter Madison Poloskey and her husband Joseph Poloskey; her grandsons Michael and Nicholas Kennedy; her grandson Alec Grennan and wife Kaitlyn Grennan; her great-granddaughter Maeve Poloskey; her great-granddaughters Addison and Alayna Grennan; her niece Jennifer Fowler Breighner and her husband Chris Breighner; her nieces Annmarie and Christianne Vertullo; and her nephew Vincent Vertullo. Her great-nephews CJ and Jaxon Breighner, and her precious and loving dog Blue!
Linda's love, warmth, and generous spirit touched countless lives. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by her family, friends, and everyone fortunate enough to know her.
