The daughter of the late Raymond Bernier and Lorette Fillion Bernier, Linda was born on March 11, 1947. She grew up in Lisbon and graduated from Lisbon High School in 1966. There, she met her future husband, Anthony (Tony) Doyon. They married on September 6, 1969, during Tony’s service in the Air Force, and were stationed on Cape Cod, Massachusetts then in Minot, North Dakota. After Tony completed military service, the couple returned to Lisbon.
Linda worked for many years at Maine Electronics and at Graziano’s Restaurant as a prep cook. She was also the receptionist for Quality Care Auto in Lisbon, which she co-owned with her husband until 2014. As a volunteer, she donated her time to the Lisbon Library and the local clothing bank.
During their 57 years of marriage, Linda and Tony enjoyed making each other laugh and cherished spending time with close friends. They traveled to Europe and wintered in Florida. Linda especially loved trips along the Maine coast, where she could shop for handmade baskets and primitive crafts. An avid reader, she also collected books and corresponded with several of her favorite authors. Despite living with MS, she kept a positive attitude and enjoyed life.
Linda believed in treating people from all walks of life with kindness, and was always ready to lend an ear or give words of encouragement to friends and strangers alike. She made friends wherever she went. Quick-witted, Linda had a gift for turning everyday experiences into entertaining stories, much to the delight of those around her. She had a generous heart and gave freely to anyone in need. Her family meant the world to her. Her last few hours were spent remembering all the people who had touched her life.
In addition to her parents, Linda was predeceased by a child lost to miscarriage. She is survived by her husband Tony of Lisbon, her daughter Stephanie and son-in-law, Whitney, of Topsham, granddaughter Abigail and grandson Terran, and her sister Phyllis DiFrancesco of Ocala, Florida.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the LACO food bank or to Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis.
