Linda Rosewaine Watts

Linda R. Watts, age 83, of Califon, NJ passed away on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, in the Hunterdon Medical Center in Raritan Twp following a short illness. She was born on April 6, 1941, in Somerville, NJ, and spent her childhood in Chester, NJ. Marriage to her high school sweetheart, David B. Watts, was just short of its sixty-third anniversary when she passed. Her friends will say Linda was plain-spoken and witty.

The daughter of John and Agnes Proctor, Linda graduated from Dunellen High School and attended Van Emburgh School of Art in Plainfield, NJ.

Linda and David lived fifty-four years in Cokesbury, NJ, and the Califon Area. She worked with her husband in their various businesses for over four decades, including their private investigation company, Interprobe, Inc. In her early years, she excelled as a surveillance videographer, resulting in positive results for their corporate and insurance clients. Later, the role of business manager suited her well.

Visitation will be from 4-8 pm, on both Friday, February 28, 2025, and Saturday, March 1, 2025, at Scarponi-Bright Funeral Home, 26 Main Street, Lebanon, NJ. Saturday, March 1, 2025, will include a 7:00 pm prayer service also at Scarpone-Bright. The interment will be private.
