Linda E. Santora, age 78, of Hammonton, NJ, passed away peacefully at home on January 4, 2026.

Linda was born in St. Louis, MO and was the middle of three sisters. Her family moved to San Diego where she grew up and went to high school. She would meet and eventually marry her sailor, James V. Santora, in 1964 and move to Hammonton in 1967. Linda worked at Atlantic Blueberry and Empire Savings & Loan before becoming a bookkeeper for Arena Oldsmobile until her retirement in 2011.

Linda enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchild. She enjoyed watching the Philadelphia Phillies, playing slot machines at the casinos, and sci-fi and disaster films. She also liked making blankets and booty socks and gave them away to family and friends. When she retired, winter trips to Florida with her husband were the norm, where she looked forward to the warm weather and frequent trips to Walt Disney World. Linda also was active on CB Radio in the 1970's and 80's and went by the handle "Coffee Pot", but when her children were in high school, many of their friends knew her as "Mamma Vin".

Linda is survived by her husband, James V. Santora Sr, her sons James V. Santora Jr (Jennifer) and John Santora (Christa), her grandchildren Joshua Santora, Kerstin Santora (Jesse), Karly Santora, Abbie Robinson (Travis), and great-grandchild Ryder Jade Walter.
