Linn Schofield Moncrief, also known as Britain Richards

September 10, 1948 ~ January 2, 2020 (age 71)

Linn Schofield (Britain Richards), 71, of Damariscotta, Maine, laughed her last laugh on Jan. 2, 2020. Her life was a unique blend of joy and sorrow, but she always made the effort to bring joy to those she loved.

Linn (Britain) was born September 10, 1948 to Walter LeRoy Schofield and Violetta Richards Schofield.  Linn's siblings include David Schofield, Tom Schofield, Anne Schofield Hill, Sandy Schofield Drury, and Lee Schofield.

Motherhood brought Linn (Britain) the most happiness, and she considered it her greatest achievement. Her uncanny ability to connect with animals and her clever sense of humor will always be remembered. She was the kind of person who got endless enjoyment from gluing a silver dollar to the kitchen floor and watching puzzled guests try to pick it up. Her boundless laughter often resonated throughout the home.

Linn (Britain) is survived by her sister, Anne; her brother, Lee; her sons, Victor and Nathan, their spouses; and granddaughters, Ella and Ada. The world is a dimmer place without Linn's (Britain’s) fun-loving spirit and laughter.
