FORT ANN – Linda Ballard Bearor passed away comfortably on May 30, 2019 at Glens Falls Hospital after a battle with lung disease.
Born in Granville, New York, December 18, 1957 of the late Donald and Anne (Cordato) Ballard, she grew up in Comstock and graduated from Fort Ann High School, Class of 1977. Soon after graduation she married Glenn “Skip” Bearor on July 1st, 1978 and enjoyed over 40 years of marriage while residing in Fort Ann for the remainder of her life.
When she was young Linda worked for some time at Emma Lang Hospital and provided care for many local children through the years who grew up to make a difference in the community and touch the entire world. She believed that loving friends and family where the most important part of life.
Surviving family include children Chad Bearor, Josh (Christie) Bearor, and Nicole Bearor; siblings Donald (Karen) Ballard, and Gaye Ballard; grandchildren Parker, Mackenzie, Logan, Jayden, and Mellissa; nieces and nephews AnnMarie (Jerry) Cutter, Katie Ballard, Donald (Bria) Ballard Jr., and Dillion Wilson; great nieces and nephews Kadynce, Evyn, and Irys; and her beloved dog Rocky-Roo.
She will be missed very much. Linda looks forward to watching over us all while spending time in heaven with her husband Skip, mother and father Anne and Donald Ballard, as well as her dear friend Patricia Nabozny, all of whom she has missed incredibly.
The family would like to thank the staff of Tower 5 at Glens Falls Hospital for their care and dedication, as well as the Fort Ann Rescue Squad and the many friends who have provided support in recent years.
A celebration of life will be held on Sunday June 2nd at the Fort Ann Volunteer Fire Department from 2-4pm.
Memorial donations can be made to the Fort Ann Fire Department, PO Box 305, Fort Ann, NY 12827 or Fort Ann Rescue Squad, PO Box 237, Fort Ann, NY 12827.
Gaye and family,
Your sister Linda always had something kind (and amusing!) to say whenever we met. I’m sure you will all miss her deeply – she was one of a kind and a fine soul.
To the Ballard / Bearor family my deepest sympathy. Linda was a fine person and will be greatly missed. She will be alive in our hearts forever. Kim Sheridan Baker. FACS 1977
So sorry to Linda’s family for the loss at a great lady. We will miss her smile and great talks at the office.
Memories are a wonderful thing. The times spent on Baker Ave as kids. Fried bologna sandwiches (yuck), but a favorite of the Ballard’s. Always a place we hung out at. Linda was such a huge part of my life growing up. May she now find peace with those that went before her. My thiughts and prayers are with every family member and friend.
Gone to soon, I’ll always remember the good times we had in high school. You always had a big heart.
Thinking of many of our family and friends and a lifetime of memories. The sustaining belief that Linda and Skip endure no more pain. Writing from TN today.
