Gagnon,Lindsay Nicole, 29, of Willimantic passed away unexpectedly surrounded by her loving family on Saturday, January 22, 2022, at Hartford Hospital. Born in Hartford on January 5, 1993, she lived most of her life in Wethersfield prior to moving to Trumbull and recently Willimantic. Lindsay was a 2011 graduate of Wethersfield High School.
Since a young age, Lindsay was very giving and willing to help others out. In 2007, she was selected by the “People to People” Ambassador Program, where she traveled to Australia for 3 weeks.This program’s vision was to promote a more peaceful and unified world. At the age of 15, instead of receiving Christmas gifts she asked that the money be donated in her name to the “Save the Children” fund.
Lindsay was very creative and artistic, she had a passion and eye for photography. In 2011, she decided to pursue this talent by attending the University of Hartford School of Arts. She graduated in 2015 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a focus in Photography. During that time, she had various art/photography pieces featured in different exhibitions.
The most important thing to Lindsay was her family, friends and loved ones. She is survived by her beloved partner, Kerri Salciccioli and their cat Zoey aka Munch, with whom she made her home; Father, Patrick Gagnon, of Milford; Mother, Lisa (LeBreux) Gagnon and partner, Shawna Schnitzke. of East Hartford; She was a “second mother” to her siblings, Zachary Gagnon, of New Britain,and Sydney Hock, of Vernon; Paternal grandfather, Rene Gagnon, of Cheshire; Maternal grandmother, Beverly LeBreux, of Vernon; Uncle, David LeBreux and wife Linda, of Brentwood TN; Aunt, Marlene Thorstenson and husband Michael, of Vernon; and many more extended family and friends.

Lindsay was taken from us far too soon! She will be remembered most for her big heart and bubbly personality, her avid love for Disney movies and minions, her colorful hair and her smile that could light up any room. While her family, friends and loved ones will forever feel a void, we have comfort knowing she is pain-free, reunited with her lost loved ones and knowing that her spirit will forever live in each and every one of us.
While there are currently no services for Lindsay, a celebration of her life will be scheduled at the convenience of her family, details will be posted on facebook.
