Linda Rees Obituary
SCHENECTADY - Linda L. Rees (Sparre), 79, originally of Schenectady, N.Y., passed away peacefully at St. Peter's Hospital in Albany, N.Y., on October 17, 2025, with her niece by her side.
Born in Schenectady on August 6, she was predeceased by her loving husband, Bruce E. Rees; and beloved sister, Gail M. Simmons (Sparre). Linda attended Mont Pleasant High School, and thereafter obtained her Certification from Colonna Beauty School. She had a diverse work history, including St. Johnsbury Trucking, Dr. Paul's Podiatry Office, Dottie's Beauty Shop, and HMS and C. Callahan insurance agencies. While she loved to travel, camp, and drink wine in her younger years, her favorite hobby has always been shopping. Whether hiding her purchases in the dishwasher from her husband, or in a drawer from her niece, QVC and Boscov's were always on speed dial.
She is survived by her loving niece, Michele "Micki" Simmons (Nicole "Nikki" Wright); and devoted cat Cha-Cha; and many lifelong and newly made friends. The family wishes to thank the staff at St. Peter's Hospital and Peregrine Senior Living at Crossgates, for their compassionate care and assistance.
In keeping with her wishes, there will be no services. Memorial contributions can be made to the Animal Protective Foundation, 53 Maple Ave., Glenville, N.Y. 12302.

My condolences to you, Micki, at the passing of your beloved aunt, Linda. I became friends with her during out many physical therapy sessions at Peregrine. Our paths crossed frequently at that facility, and she always had something amusing to offer. She also expressed her love and gratitude to you for being such a loving and devoted niece. May you take consolation that she will suffer no more. Maureen Bogle
