Linda M. F. Klapatch, passed away Sunday night, April 13, 2014. Linda was born October 1, 1986 and was a beloved daughter, sister, cousin, auntie and friend. She will be remembered for the beautiful caring woman she was by her parents, Dijana (Kulvinskas) Klapatch & Robert Klapatch, her sisters Jill and Kirsten, and the countless friends and relatives whose lives she brightened. Linda lived in Wethersfield and graduated from Central Connecticut State University with a degree in Art Education as well as from the UConn paralegal program.

Linda was a talented artist who championed the art program at Wethersfield High School as the president of the Art National Honor Society. Her heart was open to all those who crossed her path. She loved animals and will be missed by her dogs Bailey and Kahli along with her bird, Peaches.  Linda loved hiking, biking, skiing, and all things outdoors.
