She was born on March 11, 1950, in Middletown, CT to the late Samuel & June (Barbour) Wylie. Linda resided in East Hampton CT and Naples FL
Linda held many jobs but her favorite was being a Police Officer. She was the first female police officer in her hometown of East Hampton and later achieved the rank of Sergeant. An accomplishment she was extremely proud of.  Linda had a passion for NASCAR, she was a devoted fan of the New York Yankees and she found solace and joy at the beach, where she could relax with family and friends and soak in the beauty of nature. But above all, Linda treasured the time spent with her family and friends. Nothing brought her more happiness than being surrounded by loved ones and creating lasting memories together. She especially enjoyed the time she spent with her daughters and the shenanigans they always came up with while visiting. She also enjoyed the many visits from friends that she considered family. Barry Staples, Anne Maynard and Tristan & Alex Wales. In addition to her accomplishments in law enforcement, Linda took great pride in her role as a mother. She leaves behind her two daughters, Melissa Galvin (Jeff) and Jennifer Allin (Eric), who will forever cherish the love and guidance she provided. Her two granddaughters, Shelby Lynn (Brian) and Sabrena Lei (Ashton), and her great-grandsons Ryder and Mason, who she adored and loved more than anything. She also leaves behind Remi, her dog and faithful companion who will miss her very much. Linda is survived by her sister, Cheryl "Trev" Wylie, as well as her former husband, Peter Galvin. She also leaves behind a niece, Lisa Galvin (Lisa & Grace), nephews, Henry Long (Terry), Michael Long (Lisa), Anthony Martucci (Adi), Jason Martucci (Tara) and their families and numerous cousins and friends who will miss her dearly. She was predeceased by her nephew “Jimmy” James F Galvin iii. Her passing leaves a void in the lives of her family and friends, but may they always remember her strength, kindness, and unwavering spirit. 

 A celebration of life will be held by her family at a later date
