Obituary of Linda Fuschino

Linda Fuschino, a loving aunt, sister, cousin and friend, was born on November 1, 1959, in Paterson, NJ. She passed away on Saturday, July 29, 2023, in Phoenixville, PA, after a brief illness. Linda was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph Pignatelli and Frances Brandstetter, and her oldest sister, Donna Pignatelli.

She spent her formative years in Paterson and received her education at St. Gerard's School and Mary Help of Christians Academy in North Haledon. Her thirst for knowledge led her to pursue higher education at William Paterson University, The George Washington School of Business, and the Project Management Institute.

Linda's true essence lies in the cherished memories she leaves behind. She is survived by her sister, Lisa Desbiens, and her beloved nieces and nephew: Alison, Shannon, Justin, and Caitlin. Her presence was a guiding light to many, and she considered her friends as an extended family. Among them were her dear friend Debra Ross, Connie Domicolo, and Linda's goddaughter, Pia Bauer, along with her husband Mike and their beautiful boy, Kai. Additionally, she leaves behind her godson, Andrew Domicolo, his wife Chrissy, and their lovely son, Matthew. Linda's former sister-in-law Ann Esak, numerous cousins, and many other individuals held a special place in her heart.

The love she had for her two cherished cats, Dave and Taylor, was immeasurable, and they were an integral part of her life.

Linda's professional journey started at Prudential, where she showcased her talents, and later she dedicated nearly 20 years of her life to IBM. Recently, she was a valued member of ePam systems. Throughout her career, Linda achieved remarkable success and earned recognition as an award-winning executive. She built deep and lasting friendships with colleagues and customers alike. Her dedication and commitment to excellence set a high standard for those around her.

Her multifaceted personality and passions enriched the lives of everyone who knew her. Linda had an unquenchable love for music, art, travel, history, photography, fine dining, beautiful jewelry (thanks to Kevin's Fine Jewelry and the wonderful friendship that blossomed from their first meeting), nature, and all animals.

May her memory live on in our hearts forever.
