Linda Ann Boucher-Pagonis, 72, Brookfield, WI, entered God’s loving arms on January 12, 2025. She was born April 10, 1952, in Green Bay, WI to the late Orby and Adele (née VandenLangenberg) Boucher. She is a beloved sister of Kelly Boucher, Thomas (Sandy) Boucher, Timothy (Mary) Boucher, and Barbara Rundle. A dearly cherished aunt of Fiona (née Boucher) Shea, John and Tom Pagonis, Eric and Jamey Boucher, Rosalind, Alison and Daniel Rundle. A beloved God Mother and Great-Aunt to Aria and Brenna Shea. Also loved by many additional family members and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband “Chef Pierre” Peter Pagonis on April 23, 2021.
Linda graduated from Green Bay, Preble High School and continued her education at UW Whitewater where she received a bachelor’s degree in education. She later went on to receive a master’s degree in education and took PhD level courses. Linda led a rich and principled life and served her community with her educational background. She was a teacher in Pulaski, Waukesha, Milwaukee, and Kenosha and was a dedicated school board member for the past nine years to the Elmbrook School District. She was also a member of the Republican Woman of Waukesha County and Milwaukee County and spent many hours volunteering. Most paramount was Linda’s Christian Faith and discipleship. She was steadfast in prayer and never failed to share God’s word with others. She set an example of what a good and faithful servant of the Lord is to all those she knew.
Linda enjoyed swimming at Wirth Pool, spending almost every day in the summer there, as well as traveling, dancing, and playing pickleball. She enjoyed spending her time in the sun and was outside as much as possible when the weather permitted. She had a contagious laugh, quick wit and full of life. She will be greatly missed by all those who truly knew and loved her.
