Linda P. Enjeian, a beacon of love and kindness, passed away on January 12, 2026, at the age of 78. Born on December 4, 1947, in Newark, Linda was the cherished daughter of the late George and Patricia Enjeian. Her early years were spent in the warm community of Maplewood, where she cultivated a life-long appreciation for family and friendship. In the 1980s, Linda made the move to Belford, where she would eventually settle and continue to spread her warmth and generosity.
Linda's professional journey was marked by her dedication and reliability. She spent many fruitful years at International Fidelity Insurance in Newark, where her colleagues respected her work ethic and her friendly demeanor. Upon relocating to Belford, Linda continued to serve her community holding various positions and then as a valued clerk for Middletown Township. Her commitment to her work was only surpassed by her commitment to the people around her.
Family was the cornerstone of Linda's life. She is survived by her loving sister, Barbara Bibby, widow of James. Her light will continue to shine through her nephew, James Jr., his wife Leah, and their children, Haley and James, who will miss her dearly. Linda's niece, Jessica, her companion Luis Nieves, and their daughter, Sophie, will forever cherish the memories they created with her. Linda's legacy of love extends to her devoted lifelong friends, Dennis Larzik and Maryann Schito, who stood by her through thick and thin. She was predeceased by her dear friend Sallee Schito, with whom she shared countless treasured moments.
Linda's interests were a reflection of her loving nature. She had an unparalleled love for the holidays, reveling in the joy and togetherness they brought. Her family gatherings were always a highlight, particularly the time spent with her niece and nephew, whom she adored. Linda's affection for animals was evident in her special fondness for Dennis's parrots, Louie, Squeek, and Jose. Her selfless spirit meant she was always ready to lend a helping hand, and her presence was a comfort to all who knew her.
Describing Linda as loving, kind, and selfless only begins to capture the essence of her character. She was the type of friend that everyone hopes for, the family member who brought everyone together, and the colleague who made every workday brighter. Linda's impact on the world was as profound as it was gentle, and her memory will be treasured by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
As we bid farewell to Linda P. Enjeian, we celebrate a life lived with an open heart and open arms. Her spirit of generosity and compassion will continue to inspire those she has left behind. Linda's journey through life was a testament to the beauty of a selfless soul, and her story will be told with love by generations to come.
Rest in Peace, Liney N
