WALDOBORO — Linda Jean (Munsey) Achorn, 70 of Waldoboro, passed away peacefully with her two daughters and partner by her side at Miles Memorial Hospital in Damariscotta on July 14, 2025 after a brief period of declining health.

Born June 8, 1955, at Knox County General Hospital in Rockland to loving parents June and John Munsey, Linda grew up in Rockland, educated in local school, and graduated in 1973 from Rockland District High school. In 1977 she married, purchased land and settled into the town of Waldoboro, where she lived and raised three children. In her early years Linda became a CNA working in the nursing field for several years until she left the profession due to health symptoms from rheumatoid and osteoarthritis.

In 2000 she met Jim Nickles while working at Target Marketing and the two became inseparable. Together they would share 25 years of happiness.

Linda loved holidays, hosting family gatherings in her home where she would make the best apple pie. There were a few things in life Linda loved alongside her grandchildren and those were lighthouses, the Rockland Breakwater, AVON, lobster rolls and treating herself to Delano Seafood.

Linda is survived by her longtime partner, Jim Nickles of Waldoboro; her children, Angela Davis and her partner Tim Moshier of Cushing, Rebecca Jones and her husband Kyle of Jefferson, Randall Achorn of Seattle, Washington; grandchildren, Jason Davis, Nathan Moshier, Piper Achorn, Anderson Achorn and Grace Jones; her sister, Janis Guyette and her husband Walter of Gouldsboro; and a nephew, Joel Ellis of Hampden.

She was predeceased by her parents, June and John Munsey; her aunt Henriella Stiles and the father of her children, Randall Achorn Sr.

A family directed graveside memorial service will be held Friday, August 1, 2025, at 2 p.m., at the West Rockport Cemetery, Park Street in Rockport.

Linda’s Family would like to give a special thank you to the nurses, doctors and staff at Miles Memorial Hospital for their caring support.

Linda’s daughters express heartfelt gratitude to Jim Nickles for everything he has done to aid in their mother’s care over the years with love, care and devotion. They said, ‘It hasn’t gone unnoticed and for that we love you.’
