Carla graduated from Cambridge Central School, Class of 1964 and continued her education studying business and accounting at Adirondack Community College. She was employed for many years at Mary McClellan Hospital in Cambridge and most recently at C.B. Enterprises in Saratoga.

Central to her life was a deep abiding faith in God, which she shared, lovingly providing encouragement to others. She was a member of the Zion Episcopal Church in Hudson Falls. Carla belonged to the Daughters of the King, was active in Zion’s Closet Thrift Shop, served as treasurer of the parish and during worship as chalicist and reader. Until 2007, Carla was an active member of the St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Greenwich, where she served the parish as treasurer. There she was also a member of the Women’s Guild and chalicist.

With her late husband, James (Butch) Linnett, Carla was the proud mother to surviving sons, Brant J. Linnett (his partner, Amanda) and Brandon J. Linnett (Valerie). The great joys of Carla’s life included watching her sons reach their goals as good men and the birth of her three granddaughters, Samantha, Mariah and Morgan Linnett.

Additional survivors include her faithful companion, William (Bill) Cassidy of Shushan; siblings, Cindy (John) Randall of Queensbury and B. Scott Tuttle of Indiana; and several nieces and nephews. Also surviving are countless friends, all recipients of Carla’s generosity and who were witnesses to her kindly spirit.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her sister, Sharon (Sherry); and brother-in-law, William Burns; and sister-in-law, Maita Dixon.

Special gratitude is extended to Colleen Quinn, MD and the staff at St. Peter’s ALS Clinic for their compassionate care.
