Linda A. Gilbeau passed away peacefully, with her family by her side on July 10, 2019 after a long, courageous battle with cancer.
Linda was born in Burlington Vermont on June 1, 1950, the daughter of Richard and Lillian Chamberlain.
Linda worked for many years and retired from Pillsbury Manor where she made everlasting friendships with both staff and residents.
Nothing was more important to Linda than family and of course her dog Toby. She had the biggest heart and smile to match. Whenever there was a family gathering, she would be the first to arrive and one of the last to leave. Linda enjoyed going to see local bands with her mother Lillian and watching cooking shows and doing word puzzles with her sister and best friend, Susan.
Linda is survived by her daughter Mandy Gilbeau and partner Cameron VanDerHeyden of Hinesburg, her son Samuel Hines and partner Kailey of Hinesburg, her mother Lillian Chamberlain of Burlington, her sister Susan Chamberlain of Burlington, granddaughters Brittany Lawley and Hannah Whitcomb, her great granddaughter, her peanut , Skylar and many nieces and nephews. She also leaves a very close and loving relationship with her niece Kammy McDonald of Winooski.
Linda was predeceased by her father Richard Chamberlain, her brothers Richard and Jerry Chamberlain, her son Scott Gilbeau who she missed so very much and several aunts and uncles.
The family would like to thank Dr. Elise Everett for her dedication, kindness and compassion during the past three years. Also the kind and caring staff on McClure 6 at the UVM Medical Center.
A graveside service will be held on July 27, 2019 at 2:00pm at the Mountain View Cemetery in Essex Center. A Celebration of Lindas Life will follow at her nieces house in Winooski.
~We hold you close within our hearts, and there you will remain, to walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again~
