Linehan -- Patricia Grace Madrid Linehan was born December 23, 1961 at San Pablo Air Base Hospital, Seville, Spain. She was born to Patrocinio and Emma Madrid and was a symbol of their love and union as were her brothers, Gilbert and John, and her sister, Racheal. At the age of 25 years, Patricia met the love of her life, Mr. Sean Fife Linehan of Manchester, New Hampshire. They married November 21, 1986 and Patricia's strong love for family was shared by Sean. On October 4, 1987 Sean and Patricia brought into the world the most beautiful baby boy, Stephan Arthur Linehan. What a love was born that day! Two years later, more love came into their lives as Patricia's and Sean's second child, Alec Brittany was born on November 4, 1990. Alec is the baby girl for which Patricia had always wished. Patricia gave the role of mother new meaning. The love she had for her husband and children made her more beautiful than could ever be imagined. There was a light in her eyes in the presence of her children as Patricia had longed to be a mother and fought to see her children grow up. Throughout life's journey, Patricia made many true friends with her genuine kindness, compassion, generosity and abiding love. This was evident in their strong support and generosity in all they have done for Sean, the children and her family. Her friendship and her culinary skills will be greatly missed. Patricia was a member of St. Joseph's on the Rio Grande Catholic Church and served on the Finance Committee. She was a staff member of Immanuel Lutheran School. Her earlier studies led her to obtain a degree as a Licensed Practical Nurse. Her most cherished role, however, was that of wife and mother. She will be remembered with love by the Hernandez family, Andres, Refugio, Carlos, Nellie, Antonia, Genoveva, Frances and Eulalia. The Madrid family, Elfego, Phillip Jr., Lenora, Gilbert, Joe, Arnold and Emma Lee. Grandma Francisca Gonzales and her family, Simon, Abran, Anna, Josie, Eugenia, Rebecca, and Vicenta. The Linehan family adopted Patricia as one of their own and she will be sorely missed by Sean's mother, Mrs. Shirlene Linehan and siblings, Theresa, William, Colleen, Maureen and Timothy as well as many extended family members. Although we will miss Patricia dearly, we are comforted by the knowledge that she has joined her paternal grandparents, Libradita and Felipe Madrid; her maternal grandfather, Jose Mendoza; her niece, Salina Jo Madrid; and her father-in-law, Arthur Francis Linehan. Patricia was a devoted mother, a loving wife and a caring human being who made a difference in this world and the world will be a better place because she was here. God has a new angel in heaven.
