Linda Maresca Wright, 83, passed away peacefully on March 29, 2025, in Denville, New Jersey. Born on October 24, 1941, in Jersey City, New Jersey, Linda lived a life grounded in faith, family, and cherished traditions.

A devout Catholic throughout her life, Linda was a lifelong member of St. Simon the Apostle Roman Catholic Church in Green Pond, New Jersey. Her faith remained a constant source of strength and guidance. While residing in Rotonda West, Florida, she continued her spiritual journey by attending Mass at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church.

Green Pond Lake held a special place in Linda’s heart. It was there she met her beloved husband Larry “Lar” Wright, raised their children, and created a home filled with warmth and laughter. Even after Larry’s passing, the lake remained a treasured sanctuary where memories endured and family traditions thrived.

Linda is lovingly remembered by her sister Barbara; her sons Gilbert, Christopher, Michael, and Joseph; daughters-in-law Leanne, Mindy, and Stephanie; grandchildren Katie, Brianna, Sean, Eric, Megan, Devin and Emma; grandchildren-in-law Eric, Alice, Bridget, Kaitlyn, and Ezra; and great-grandchildren Taylor, Hannah, Michael, Charlotte, Lucas, Elliott, and Ruth.

Linda was an animal lover and particularly enjoyed the company of her Muggins and her many grand dogs over the years.

She found joy in music as a proud member of Sweet Adelines and deeply valued the enduring friendships she shared with her beloved YaYas.

Linda was preceded in death by her devoted husband Larry “Lar” Wright; her father Joseph Maresca; and mother Betty Maresca.
