Obituary of Linda Anne Semonish

Middlesex – Linda Anne Semonish, 64, passed away Wednesday morning, January 28, 2026, at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick.

Born in Plainfield to the late Louis and Anne DiGrazia, Linda grew up in Middlesex. Right out of high school, Linda and her high school sweetheart, the late John Semonish, relocated to Santa Barbara, California, before settling back in Middlesex in 1993 to raise their family.

Linda was a devoted mother and grandmother, cherishing every moment spent with her family. She lived her life by her heartfelt motto, “Love, Love, Love,” and her warmth and kindness touched everyone around her. Linda was like a mom to everyone who walked through her door. Known lovingly as “Mama Bear,” she welcomed friends and family with open arms and treated everyone as if they were her own.

Her loving presence will be missed dearly by all who knew her. She leaves behind a legacy of love and compassion that will forever endure.

Semonish; surviving are her three children, Bryan Semonish and wife Lindsay, Nicholas Semonish and wife Stevilynn, and Ashley Semonish; her beloved grandchildren, Lynnea, Delilah, Nicholas, Raelynn, Molly, Brandon, Ethan, and Mila.
