Nadene L. Linell

Nadene L. Linell (1933–2026) Nadene L. Linell, age 93, peacefully passed away on May 7, 2026, leaving behind a life filled with love, laughter, and countless cherished memories. Born in Broadalbin to F. Mason and Helen Lansing Trevett, and later embraced by her mother’s second husband, Robert Logan, Nadene’s early life laid the foundation for a spirit of resilience, determination, and kindness. A proud graduate of The King’s College with a degree in Merchandising, Nadene formed lifelong friendships that she treasured throughout her years. Eventually, she returned to her hometown of Broadalbin to work as a dental assistant, where her care and gentle nature touched many lives. In 1966, Nadene married Gustave Linell, who preceded her in 1993. She devoted herself to her family, pouring love and energy into raising her son, Erik, while nurturing cherished friendships that lasted a lifetime. Nadene had a zest for life and a love of adventure. She delighted in traveling, losing herself in a good book, basking in the sun in her backyard, or enjoying the company of friends on the Great Sacandaga Lake. As a former lifeguard, she believed every child should learn to swim, and nothing brought her more joy than helping toddlers discover the water. Her legacy of love, laughter, and mentorship lives on through her son Erik Linell, her niece Catherine Dunbar, her goddaughters Melissa (Herman) Winsman and Hilary (Nicholas) Ruzycky, the Argotsinger cousins, and the many friends whose lives she brightened. A Funeral Service will be held at the First Presbyterian Church 54 West Main St., Broadalbin on July 11, 2026, at noon, followed by a Celebration of Life at the Historic Hotel Broadalbin. In honor of Nadene’s generous spirit, donations may be made to the American Heart Association, Alzheimer’s Association, or Broadalbin Public Library. Nadene’s life was a testament to joy, friendship, and the simple pleasures that make life extraordinary. She will be remembered with love and gratitude by all who knew her. Arrangements are by Robert M. Halgas Funeral Home, Johnstown, NY.
