Linda Beckman

On Tuesday, April 11, 2023, Linda (Iaciofano) Beckman, loving wife, cherished sister, and mother of two devoted children, passed away at age 60.

A lifelong Rhode Islander, Linda was born on September 11, 1962 to the late Carl (CFD RET) and Lillian (Cilento) Iaciofano of Cranston. She graduated from Cranston West High School and married the late James Beckman (CFD RET). They raised two sons, Michael (WFD) and Brandon Beckman in Coventry.

Linda was an avid gardener, a vibrant fashionista, and always the biggest personality in the room. A frequent traveler who enjoyed escaping New England winters, she also cared about those in need and volunteered regularly on Thanksgiving to feed the less fortunate. Those close to her could count on Linda to be as fiercely loyal as she was hilarious. She loved sharing photos of the flowers she tended, lounging on Rhode Island's beaches, and doting on her two German Shepherds, Bella and Roxy.

Linda is survived by her sons and her siblings, Kathleen Pilkington and Carl Iaciofano Jr. (Louann), along with two aunts, an uncle, cousins, nieces, nephews, and countless friends who were like family. While they're all heartbroken without her, they take some comfort in knowing heaven is sparkling a little brighter now.

Friends and relatives are invited to VISITING HOURS on Thursday April 20, 2023, from 4:00 – 8:00pm at the NARDOLILLO FUNERAL HOME & Crematory, 1278 Park Ave., Cranston. Burial will be respectfully private.
