Linda M. Yager

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Linda Marie (Visconti) Yager, aged 72, of Fulton, NY, on Friday, October 30, 2026, after a courageous two-year battle with Dementia Alzheimer's, with her loving partner by her side.

Born on April 17, 1954, in Saratoga Springs, NY, Linda was the beloved eldest daughter of Wayne and Thelma Visconti of Fulton, NY. She graduated from G. Ray Bodley High School in 1972 and went on to manage several dental offices in the area before embarking on her entrepreneurial journey. In 1988, Linda founded Salon Direct, a hair care and beauty product distribution business serving stylists and salons. Her dedication and passion for her work were evident in the strong relationships she built with her clients across Oswego, Oneida, and Onondaga Counties. Known for her radiant smile, reliability, and compassion, Linda made every client feel special, many of whom remained loyal throughout her 36-year career. She was a dedicated member of the Order of The Eastern Star for 54 years, joining at the age of 18.

Linda's commitment to her family and friends was unparalleled. She was a beacon of support, always ready to celebrate achievements and offer a helping hand during challenging times. Her home was the heart of many joyous family gatherings, especially during the Fourth of July and Christmas celebrations. Linda cherished her time with her Bowling "Peeps," who were like family to her, sharing holidays and retreats together.

Linda was blessed with the unwavering support of her partner of 28 years, Dan Rogers of Fulton, NY, who became her full-time caregiver following her diagnosis. Together, they enjoyed adventures, casino trips, and cherished moments with their grandchildren.

Linda's greatest pride and joy were her children and grandchildren. She ensured that each of them felt special, regardless of the distance. Her legacy of love and warmth will continue through loving partner, Dan Rogers, her daughter Jessica (Keith) Watts of Harpursville, NY, her son Jarid (Julie) Yager of Guyton, GA, and her cherished grandchildren Brianna, Ayla, Genevieve, Ell, Lily, Jason, and Violet. She is also survived by her loving parents, Wayne and Thelma, her siblings Garry, Karen, Jerry, and Sue, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Calling hours will be held on Friday, November 6, 2026, from 4-7 pm at Foster Funeral Home, 910 Fay Street, Fulton, NY 13069. A funeral service will take place on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 10 am at the funeral home, followed by burial at St. Mary's Cemetery, Fulton, NY.

To leave a special message for the family, please sign the guestbook. Linda's family extends their heartfelt gratitude for the love and support received during this difficult time.
