Linda was a member of the band, the chorus and the Girls Leaders Club of Greenport High School and graduated in 1964. Furthering her education, she graduated from the University of Albany with a bachelor’s degree.

Making her way to Maryland for employment, she met her first husband and her son, Billy, was born. He was the center of her life, filling her with joy and love. Many years later she moved to California and met and married the love of her life, Bob Webb, settling in Kingsburg.

Linda had a great faith in God, a generous spirit and always wanted to help those in need. Her passion was crocheting afghans; she made hundreds and then donated them to the senior center and to her church. The baby afghans she donated to the crisis pregnancy center always included a personal card and a prayer.

Linda was an active member, office holder, editor of the newsletter and yearly event organizer of the local chapter of Al-Anon. She was also a faithful member of Kingsburg Community Church; she always said grace at all family gatherings; and she extensively traveled to Mexico, to Alaska, to the Caribbean and to Hawaii with her husband, Bob.

Linda Ward Fitzhugh, a former resident of Southold, died Monday, Oct. 5, 2020, at Bentley Village Care Center in Naples, Fla. She was 79 years old.

Linda was born April 23, 1941, in Great Neck, N.Y., to Annette and Charles E. Ward. Annette passed away in 1943 and Charles remarried in 1945, to Beatrice “Bunny” Tullis. Linda graduated from the Cathedral School of St. Mary in Garden City, Bradford (Mass.) Junior College and New York School of Design. She was an interior designer for 30 years.

During the 1950s the Ward family purchased their first summer home, on Indian Neck Road in Peconic, overlooking Hogs Neck Bay. Then in the mid-1960s they purchased the J.S. Jenkins House overlooking Shelter Island Sound; this home is referenced in the book “Images of America Southold.” It was here that Linda developed her passion for sailing. She was a member of the Southold Yacht Club; she and her crew raced in the Lightning class for several years, amassing many trophies. 

This passion for sailing led her to marry Stanley Popko in 1973. Together they sailed Memsahib, a 36-foot motorsailer sloop. The couple enjoyed years of sailing and travel before retiring in 1986 to Founders Village and becoming full-time residents of Southold.

Linda continued to be a supporter of Hallockville Museum Farm, Southold Historical Society and various other organizations in the area. She was especially known for entertaining; large or small events were no challenge with her organizational skills. On Sundays she would read The Suffolk Times ads for restaurants in the area and plan the coming week’s dinners and lunches out with friends. Linda was always fond of these get-togethers and supporting local businesses.

In 1990 she became a snowbird, spending the winters in Naples, Fla. She remained a subscriber of The Suffolk Times to keep tabs on the North Fork while she was away, planning what to see and do upon her return. 

In 2003 she married Philip Fitzhugh from Naples and the couple spent many happy years together until his death in 2011. Due to failing health, Linda said goodbye to Southold in 2014 and became a full-time resident of Naples until her death.

Linda is remembered by friends and family as someone who was focused on others instead of herself. Her indomitable spirit led her through a life of challenges and heartache by looking to the positive side of life. 

She is survived by her sister, Susan; nephew, Charles; niece, Jan (Chris); great-nieces, Ashley (Peter) and Kristina; and goddaughter, Dana.

Coster-Heppner Funeral Home in Cutchogue is assisting the family with private burial at First Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Southold.

In 1994 she opened her dream gift shop, Gallery of Accents, in Greenport, N.Y., then in 1995 moved the business to Sag Harbor, N.Y., where it remained until 2004. 

As an ardent volunteer, she was a former member of the executive board of Friends of WLIW Channel 21 and Literacy Volunteers of America. In 2004 she became a devoted volunteer at Peconic Bay Medical Center. Her comforting way made a patient’s stay a little more bearable. She also loved the arts, gardening and her cat, Sweetie.

In 2004, Jackie was diagnosed with breast cancer and, through the tough times and good fight, remained cancer-free until the time of her death. She was a fierce, independent and strong woman who was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

In keeping with Jackie’s giving spirit, her remains will be donated to Stony Brook University Hospital in lieu of a funeral. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
