Linda Diane Carlin
Linda passed into the Lord’s loving embrace on May 29th, 2017. She was always a woman of great generosity and compassion. All throughout her life, she shared her exuberant joy and love of life with those around her.
Born Linda Diane Teja, in the summer of 1948, in Putnam, Connecticut, Linda was raised by her loving parents Mary and Margus Teja, with her siblings Louise, Ted, and Elaine.
In 1970 Linda obtained her Bachelor of Science degree from Simmons College in Boston Massachusetts, and had since been an active member of their alumni association.
After graduating college, Linda moved to California with her then husband, Steven Carlin. Here she bore and raised her two elder sons, Peter and Dan Carlin. Later in life, Linda found great love in her partner of 25 years, Alex Maas, who passed in 2009. They settled in Ocean Beach where Linda had her youngest son, Erroll Maas.
Linda became an active member of the Ocean Beach Community. A woman of endless curiosity, she was always up on the current news of the day and showed great concern for her fellow man and animal friends alike. Linda was an avid reader, gardener, knitter, traveler, and a great lover of music and the theater. A woman of both Boston and San Diego, she was a lifelong Red Sox fan, as well as a devoted Padres fan, who attended Padres Opening Day with her son Dan for the past 20 years.
For the majority of her career, Linda worked as a laboratory technician. In recent years, she volunteered in the book room at the First Unitarian Universalist Church in San Diego.
She is survived by her beloved sons, Peter Carlin, Dan and his wife Danielle Carlin, and Erroll Maas. She is also survived by family in New England, and by her many friends in California, including her best friends of many years, Sue Castiglione and Paula Trubitt.
No words can express how deeply Linda will be missed, but her legacy of compassion and appreciation for life will live on in all who knew and loved her.
