"Loved by all who knew her"
Allegany-- Linda Marie Crisafulli, passed away on Friday (June 17, 2011) at her home, following a courageous battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her loving family.
Linda was born November 3, 1955 in Allegany, NY to Thomas and Anita Helmert McCaffery. She is survived by her beloved husband, John, the son of John and Josephine Crisafulli. The two met and fell in love at Allegany High School as teenagers. They married when Linda was 18, and created a big beautiful family.
She graduated from St. Francis Hospital School of Nursing, and worked at St. Bonaventure Motherhouse. She also worked as a bookkeeper for more than thirty years at Crisafulli Construction of Allegany, Inc. and Kinley Corporation.
