Linda E. Warren
WOODSTOCK (formerly of Charlton) — Linda (Buxton) Warren, 78, passed away on Nov. 20, 2025 after a brave battle with cancer. Born in 1947 in Marlborough, Mass., she was the daughter of the late Myron Buxton Jr. and Martha (Moore) Perkins.
Linda grew up in a small house on Robin Hill Road in Marlborough where she was the oldest of seven children. She took the “oldest” role very seriously and cherished each and every one of her siblings, calling them often, whether they were near or far. Family was always a priority to her. Another role she cherished was being a mother, always putting her children first.
She had a unique and special relationship with each of her children. She was truly and will always be the “matriarch” of her family. She also enjoyed reading the newspaper and magazines, crocheting, grocery shopping, and cooking: “Even the birds were fat at Mimi’s house!”
She leaves her children, Wendy Warren-Cudworth of Woodstock, James Warren of Sturbridge, Mass., and Michael Warren of Hudson, Fla.; her siblings, Paulette DiPersio (Bob) of Zephyr Hills, Fla., Dwight Buxton (Karen) of Middletown Springs, Vt.; Barbara Kozlowski of Spencer, Mass., and Kevin Buxton of Southbridge, Mass.; grandchildren, Samantha Cudworth, Shawna Cudworth, Christian Cudworth, Mackenzie Warren, Emma Warren, Austin Branham, Michael Warren, Rochelle Warren; her great-granddaughter, Ari Deliz; her longtime friend, John Elliott Sr.; nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and her favorite furry companions, Daisy Duke, Bailey and the late Lilly Elliott. She was predeceased by her brother, Gary Buxton, and her sister, Carol Dunn.
A graveside service was Nov. 29 at Westridge Cemetery in Charlton. Donations: an animal shelter of your choice. Gilman Funeral Home & Crematory, 104 Church St, Putnam.
