Obituary for Linda Sue Cerretti (Graham)
Linda Sue (Graham) Cerretti, 67, a resident of Dracut, passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 26, 2022, at her home, surrounded by her loving family.
She was born in Louisville, Kentucky on November 28, 1954, and was a daughter of the late Lawrence and Cecile (Charbonneau) Graham.
Linda was known for her strong will, sass, and candor spirit. If she didn’t like you, you knew it. If she loved you, you knew that, too, and she loved fiercely. Linda loved her family with all her heart, and she was extremely protective of those in her circle. After the passing of her husband, Gerald Wayne Bell (her children’s father), she devoted herself, full-time, to raising her children. If you knew Linda, you also knew that she was Elvis Presley’s number one fan, as evidenced by her extensive collection of Elvis Presley memorabilia. In addition to loving her family (and Elvis) with all that she had, Linda was also known for her love of plants. She had a green thumb and could breathe life back into any plant that crossed her path. Linda ran on Dunkin’, so she always had a smile on her face while she was indulging in her beloved beverage of choice: a Dunkin’ iced coffee. Her coffee dates with her sister, Virginia, were moments in time that she truly cherished.
Linda is survived by a son, Wayne Graham and his fiancée Wanda Dufresńe of Dracut, a daughter, Tonya (Bell) Gallant and her husband, Edward Gallant II, of Carthage, NY; five grandchildren; Donald Graham, Katelynn Graham, Wayne Graham Jr., Alexis Gallant, and Edward Gallant III; three sisters; Jeanne Gargiulo, Virginia Kinney, and Donna Colby, and a brother, Charles Harris.
Linda was preceded in death by her husband, Gerald Wayne Bell; a loving daughter, Cecilia Bell, her parents, Lawrence and Cecile (Charbonneau) Graham, and a brother, Maurice Harris.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date.
