Above all else, Linda’s family was her most cherished treasures.  Her greatest pleasure was sitting outdoors, surrounded by music and laughter, and “blue mountains".  Her “babies”, whom she loved more than life itself, were her strength and determination to fight her battle each and every day. Survivors include Linda’s beloved son, Michael Rowley and his wife Shannan, and her three grandbabies- Stella, Mason, & Phoebe of Little Falls; her siblings- Barry Rowley and wife Donna of Ilion, Daniel Rowley of Dolgeville, Debra Cook of Little Falls, and Bernard Weaver, II and Robin Gay of Ilion.  Linda also leaves behind many nieces and nephews.  Her niece, Lisa Feasel, was by her side every second of her courageous fight and was Linda’s “angel”.  Linda is also survived by many great nieces and nephews, including Samantha Cook, whose tender love and care was given abundantly.  She was preceded in death by her sister in law, Gail Rowley.  The family would like to give a special thank you to the radiation department and staff of Dr. Sood and the friends whose love and support gave her comfort and strength.  Also, a heartfelt thank you is extended to the dedicated caregivers at Hospice Care for their care and compassion.  There will be a private service at St. Mary's Cemetery, town of Herkimer, at the convenience of the family.  Mohawk Valley Funerals and Cremations (Daniel J.
