Linda York, 74, of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 9, 2021, in Niagara Falls Memorial Hospital. Born in Niagara Falls, she was the daughter of the late Alfred E. and Betty Ann (Dawson) Rainer; and the beloved wife of Robert York, who she married on August 13, 1966 at St. John de LaSalle Church.

She also served as their former Treasurer, Financial Secretary and was a longtime member of the Fire Hall's Ladies Auxiliary. Linda was also a devoted member of the American Legion Wheatfield Post #1451 in Sanborn, NY.

In her leisure time, she enjoyed playing Bingo and crocheting, but above all she took great pleasure in spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.
