Linda Calace, 93, of Boca Raton passed away on Wednesday, March 23, 2022.
Our Mother, Linda, had an interesting, full and busy life. It took her from a childhood typical of the Great Depression to the most exotic of venues. She loved to travel and she and dad started with family vacations in the US when their six children were pretty young. The journeys were fun and interesting trips once we stopped asking, “Are we there yet?” However, Mom didn’t stop there.
People who knew Mom were always impressed with how truly elegant and beautiful she was. She had a personal sense of style that showed up in so many facets of her life. Every home she had reflected that sense of style. They were beautiful, inside and out: Just like Mom. She knew what looked great on her and trusted her own judgement. The only time Mom might have succumbed to Mod Fashion was the time she wore a paper dress to a party. it was OK, though: so did every other woman there! And she looked super wearing it!
Her children were most likely the best nourished on the block. Mom read everything she could find on raising a well fed family. She read books about nutrition from authors like Carlton Fredricks and Adele Davis, early nutritional authors. Food at our house was really good and we ate everything but the liver. Books on entertaining were a big section in her library. She was a fabulous cook and took risks with new ideas in cooking. Mom was a wonderful hostess to family and friends alike. All of us have cherished memories of big family holiday dinners. They are truly missed. Mom’s family was really big when she was young and her sense of fun and a good holiday was based on having a lot o people to enjoy it with.
There were some sad time in Mom’s life, too. All three of her sons, John, Mark and Arthur, passed in adulthood. Their loss was something she grieved the rest of her life. When Dad, her rock and true love, passed, she was bereft. She looked for you, Dad, for a long time. And now, Mom and Dad and their sons are finally together. We, her friends and family, miss her but wish Mom a sweet, joyous and lasting reunion with all those she loved who have been waiting for her for so long. We love you, Linda.
