Linda Venier

wife for 31 years to Nicholas O. Venier and a beloved daughter of Edmond James

Pereira and Lillian (Lapointe) Pereira, born in her cherished hometown of Fall River.

Linda's journey began at the Boys & Girls Club of Fall River, where she became

affectionately known as "Ms. Linda" at Camp Welch. Her compassion and dedication

were undeniable, eventually leading her to become a Certified Dental Practitioner in

1990. Her professional achievements culminated in her role as President of the

Southeastern District Dental Society.

Beyond her impressive career, Linda radiated love as a devoted mother, dear friend,

and passionate soul. She shared her heart and home with her cherished pets Fred,

Yodel, Keeper, and Jack. Her vibrant spirit was also evident on the dance floor, where

she found joy, and in her artful landscaping and gardening endeavors. Linda's

adventurous spirit led her to explore the world, with a special affection for the beauty of

San Francisco, where she delighted in the company of her son and her other “boys” as

she’d say while taking in the scenic surroundings.

Linda is survived by her loving husband, Nicholas O. Venier, and her children: Roger

Gaudreau of Fall River, Gregory Blangero-Venier of San Diego, and step-daughter,

Nicole Venier of Fall River, her son-in-law, Jason Blangero-Venier of San Diego, and

granddaughter Jasmine Paiva of Tiverton. She was predeceased by her step-son, Erik

Gravel, in memoriam.
