Linda Talotta (nee Clements), age 75 of Ocean City, NJ, the loving wife, cherished mother, stepmother, grandmother (Nanny), and friend, passed away peacefully on December 3, 2025.
Linda was born in London, England on September 28, 1950. She was loved by so many and left an indelible mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Though her fight was strong, she is now at peace, leaving a lifetime of love and joy behind.
Her happy place was her home by the beach, referring to the ocean as her “Sea of Diamonds,” where she found peace, laughter, and joy. She had a way of lighting up a room with her laugh, quick wit, and her unmistakable British accent, greeting everyone with a cheerful “Hello Darling!”. These are the memories friends and family will carry with them forever.
She is survived by her husband, Nick Talotta, her children: Amanda Ross, Jason Ross (Andrea, Scott Waldie (Kayla), her late son Todd Waldie, and her stepchildren: Michael Talotta, Joe Talotta, and Denise Talotta.
Her beloved grandchildren: Lillian, Cassandra, Chase, Grace, Charlotte, Isabella, Ben, and Greg all affectionately called her “Nanny”. A name that perfectly reflected the love and warmth she shared with them.
Linda touched so many lives with her kindness, humor, and generosity. She will be remembered for the joy she brought to family and friends, the love she freely gave, and the laughter that followed her wherever she went.
Family and friends are invited to attend her Visitation on Saturday, January 3, 2026 at St. Francis Cabrini Church – 114 Atlantic Ave, Ocean City, New Jersey, starting at 10:00 a.m., followed by a Memorial Mass at 11:00 a.m. A luncheon will be held immediately after the Mass at the hall behind the church.
