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.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in memory of Linda may be made to C.R. Wood Cancer Center, 102 Park St., Glens Falls, NY 12801.
I have known Linda since high school but wasn’t in contact with her till she met robbie, then we had alot of fun tracking down robbie and mike, and she could drive a car soooo fast it scared me, then was off and on with her through the years. She was very talented, what I remember the most is when she put so many hours into making “May Baskets”. I know she will be very missed because she has more friends than anybody I know. Rest in peace and pain free Linda. Love, Carmella and Mike.
Linda was such a beautiful, talented, funny, and amazing person to be around. She was loved by so many people that will all miss her. My condolences to her entire family. I will miss you my cousin and my friend. Rest in peace Linda.

Going to miss you my Friend. God Bless you so fly high with the angels
I remember Linda from back in school, then had the pleasure of working with her at the HF school bus garage. She truly was a very talented fun lady.
She always made you laugh and loved her outfits she wore with her hats.
Fly high Linda, will miss you.
Rest in peace.
All our love to everyone. We are so sorry for your great loss she was a beautiful soul inside and out💖💖love mom Ken and nana
Oh, Linda – I’ve known you forever. You were always a well-met ray of sunshine; I would smile for the rest of the day whenever we met. You are missed, dear girl.
I love you Mom!!!!!
I unfortunately only met Linda a few times, however I how much she was loved and how she impacted others, condolences to her entire family and her closest friends. Rest In Peace Linda!
My first crush. We dated a few months. On Valentine’s day, I called to say I was coming over. That’s when it dawned on her she had forgotten. Mumbled expletive. Phone slams. When I got there, she handed me a huge, homemade card. Yup, her hot glue skills go way back. My prayers go out to her loved ones. I’m truly sorry for your loss.
Went to school with Linda. Good friend, very creative. Although we haven’t seen each other in years she was still a friend. Full of laughter and fun!
I love you so much and miss you fly high
