Linda A. Siwicki

Linda Ann Siwicki passed away peacefully on Friday, December 8, 2023 at the age of 73 after a valiant battle with cancer, surrounded by her family. Linda was born in Stamford, CT on June 24, 1950, to Edward and Dorothy Faski. She lived her whole life in Stamford. She attended Sacred Heart University in pursuit of her teaching degree where she met Al, her soulmate and the love of her life, whom she married in August 1972. Linda taught third grade at Roxbury Elementary School until 1976 when she left teaching to become a mother and help Al start the Siwicki Insurance Agency in 1978. Linda was an incredible mother to her children, Becky, Mandy, Megan, and Jonathan, and a dedicated grandmother (“Nan”) to her grandchildren, Emily, Addison, and George. Her roles as wife, mother, grandmother, and teacher were her life’s greatest accomplishments, and ones she took extreme pride in. She returned to teaching in 2010 instructing adult students in English as a Second Language classes through Stamford Adult Education and later through Greenwich Adult Education. Linda’s heart was full again when she returned to teaching as she felt she was truly valued by her students and she considered every one of them a friend. Linda lived her life with purpose and determination. She built a tremendous marriage, a bustling and chaotic family, and a huge network of people who loved her. Her family surrounded her every week for Sunday dinner at her huge kitchen table where she turned out delicious food for all of them. Her vacations alone with Al and those they took with their kids and grandkids were the highlight of her life when she couldn’t be in the classroom. Linda leaves behind her dear husband of 51 years, Al Siwicki, daughter Becky Siwicki and her life partner Doug Hamm, daughter Mandy Clear, her husband Tom Clear, and their children Emily and Addison Clear, daughter Megan Kolbrenner, her husband Seth Kolbrenner, and their son George Kolbrenner, and son Jonathan Siwicki, all of Stamford, CT. She is also survived by her dear sisters Cindy Bongo of Trumbull, CT, Lisa Faski of Stamford, CT, and Susan Bocchetta of Stamford CT as well as her brother-in-law Stanely Siwicki and his wife Cathy of Shelton, CT. Finally, she leaves behind her beloved nieces and nephews, her dear friends, and so many other loved ones. Linda was a force to be reckoned with. Her huge heart, unwavering spirit, and sharp honest words will be desperately missed by all those who knew and loved her. The family will have a private Celebration of Life for Linda. May she rest in eternal peace. To make a remembrance for the family, please visit the family guestbook at www.bosakfuneralhome.com or www.facebook.com/bosakfuneralhome
