Linda J. Little (74) of Fernandina Beach, FL, passed away at her home, on Wednesday October 20th 2021. She was an avid reader and crafter, and she shared her passion for creativity with the world. She was the foundation of her family’s traditions, and will be missed by many, far and wide.
Born October 24th, 1946, to Gordon & Violet Gross, in New London, CT, she graduated from High School in 1964, and went on to become a graduate of Central Connecticut State College, class of 1966. She received her AS and worked many places over several states, mostly in accounting. She retired after three decades at what we still call ‘Container’, the largest paper mill in Fernandina Beach.
After college she met and married a Navy Submariner and moved to several states before finally settling down in Florida in the winter of 1979 where she lived out the rest of her life, never forgetting her home in Connecticut. She was an active member in the Fernandina Beach Women’s Club, and a 30+ year long member of the Eight Flags Charter Chapter of ABWA, as well as a longtime member of the Ladies Auxiliary to the VFW.
She traveled as often as she could with family and friends and loved to share stories about every trip and adventure.
She is predeceased by her parents, Violet and Gordon Gross, of Waterford, CT; and her brother, Gordon D. Gross, of Fernandina Beach, FL.
She is survived by her two daughters, Kristin Cryder of Jacksonville, FL and former son-in-law Kevin Cryder of St Mary’s, GA; Erin Cutshaw (Mark) of Fernandina Beach, FL. six granddaughters, Ava Cole (Stevie) of Daleville, AL; Ansley, Amelia and Addison Cutshaw, of Fernandina Beach, FL; Brandy Augustine (John) of Honolulu, HI; Angie Smith of Panama City, FL; and one grandson, Justin Cutshaw of Houston, TX; five great grandchildren and her brother, Alan W. Gross (Lisa Tibbitts), of Madison, CT.
The family will receive friends from 5:00 until 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, November 10th, at Oxley-Heard Funeral Home.
Donations can be made in her name to either the Alzheimer’s Association, Friends of the Library or GFWC Women’s Club of Fernandina Beach.
