Born on November 16, 1945, in Nashua, New Hampshire, Linda was the daughter of the lateWinthrop Andrew Crowell and Marie (Messier) Crowell. She grew up in Nashua and graduated from Nashua High School with the Class of 1963.

Affectionately known as "Mootie", Linda was a gifted artist whose creativity was reflected throughout her life. She enjoyed reading, drawing, and creating unique one-of-a-kind watercolor paintings. Her artistic talent led her to an early career managing the art department of a local graphic design company. Beyond her artistic abilities, Linda was known for her strong personality, quick wit, and memorable sense of humor. She was never at a loss for an opinion or a comical commentary.

For the past 28 years, Linda made her home in Milford, New Hampshire, where she shared a peaceful life with her devoted partner, Norman Lacroix. She valued simple pleasures and treasured every opportunity to spend time with her grandchildren, who brought her immense joy.

Linda was predeceased by her beloved daughter, Adrienne Asselin, who passed away in 1989; her former husband, Charles V. Asselin; and her brother, Steven Crowell.

She leaves behind her son, Jason Aselin and his wife, Gina; her grandchildren, Taylor Marie Aselin and Jake Thomas Aselin; her partner, Norman Lacroix; Norman's sons, Eric Lacroix and John Lacroix, Norman’s grandson James Lacroix; her sister, Martha Nadeau; her brother, Jonathan Crowell and his wife, Linda; lifelong friend Sandra Centeio, and many other family members and friends who will miss her dearly.

Mootie’s artistic spirit, kindness, and humor, will be remembered always. She leaves behind a legacy of creativity, strength, and cherished memories that will continue to inspire those who knew and loved her.

A private family service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a local animal welfare organization in Linda's memory. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all whose lives she touched.
