HUDSON FALLS – Linda M. Goodman, 65, a lifelong resident of Hudson Falls, passed away on June 11, 2021, at her home surrounded by family and friends, after a courageous battle with cancer.

A special thanks is given to all the doctors, nurses, and staff at the CR Wood Cancer at the Glens Falls Hospital who cared for Linda during her battle with cancer, and High Peaks Hospice who assisted Linda on her final journey.
In accordance with Linda’s wishes there will be no calling hours.
A graveside service will be held at Union Cemetery in the town of Fort Edward, 10 a.m., on Tuesday, June 22, 2021.
