Arthur Linington

Arthur Linington, a 22-year resident of Masonic Village, passed away peacefully on March 29.  He was born on May 26, 1920, in Brighton, England.  In addition to his parents, Art was predeceased by his five siblings and a beloved niece.

 In 1946, Art settled in the Philadelphia area with his wife Edith, who passed away in 1998 after 54 happy years.  Art then enjoyed 20 years of marriage with Susanah Ruth, who survives him.  He is also survived by his daughter Kathleen Gonzalez (George), his grandson Matthew Gonzalez (Kari), his great-grandchildren Mason and Sophia, a stepdaughter, and several nieces and nephews.

 A true hero of the greatest generation, Art served in the British Royal Navy, participating in the Dunkirk evacuation and the D-Day invasion. In 1948, Art proudly became a US citizen, but England and his family always had a special place in his heart. 

Art was a devoted Mason and in 1977 served as Master of Bristol Lodge #25, Bucks County, one of the oldest lodges in the US. 

Heartfelt thanks to the staff of Masonic Village Health Care Center, Personal Care and Hospice for their love and support. 

“We’ll meet again some sunny day.”

Services will be private and at the convenience of the family. Arrangements have been entrusted to Miller-Finkenbinder Funeral Home & Crematory, Elizabethtown.
