Obituary of Linda L. Paczkowski

Linda L. Paczkowski, 69, of South Kortright, passed away Sunday, July 22, 2018 at O’Connor Hospital surrounded by her family.

Born on September 25, 1948, the daughter of the late Edwin and Julia (Feig) DeMott.

Linda was a Beautician in Queens, NY before moving to South Kortright where she worked for many years at South Kortright Central School as a Teacher’s Assistant until her retirement.

Mrs. Paczkowski enjoyed cooking, scrapbooking, gardening, coaching Little League baseball, watching her sons play sports, watching the New York Mets with her family, and spending time with her canine and feline companions.  Linda’s greatest joy was her family; her children and grandchildren were her top priority. Always supportive and caring, Linda became the “neighborhood Mom” for not only her own kids, but their friends as well. Her door and refrigerator were always open.

Besides her parents, Linda was predeceased by an infant grandchild, Karter Michael; sisters: Joan Wysocki, Rita Keehner, June Vecchione, and Jean Kowalsky; and brothers: Robert “Putty”, Fred, and Gary DeMott.

She is survived by her husband of 49 years: Walter A. Paczkowski of South Kortright; children: Julia of South Kortright, Walter “Bosco” (Jennifer) of Cayuga; Andrew (Lynne) of Glendale, Kris (Dorota) of Harpersfield, and Jon (Alexis Andrus) of Princeton, NJ; three grandchildren: Emma, Brady and Dylan; and brother Edwin DeMott of Vermont. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and close friends.

Friends and relatives are invited to call on the family from 2-4PM and 6-8PM on Thursday, July 26, 2018 at the MacArthur Funeral Home, 134 Main Street, Delhi.  A Mass will be celebrated at 11AM on Friday at St. Peter’s Church, Cross Street, Delhi with the Rev. Edward Golding celebrant.
