Linda St. John

Linda Louise (O'Dell) St. John, AKA “Weezie” born December 25, 1952, passed away unexpectedly on August 10, 2023, at her residence in Saranac Lake.

Linda was born in Ausable Forks, NY, the daughter of Eugene and Genevieve O'Dell. Linda moved to Connecticut in her early 20s and shortly after she met her first husband Jerry St. Amand. While in Connecticut Linda was the manager of The Whole Donut. After her divorce with Jerry, Linda and her 5 children moved to Saranac Lake, NY. Linda began working at the Edge of The Lake in Lake Placid as a housekeeper, she then became the Manager for many years before retiring. Linda was an avid reader; you would always see her with a new book about every day. If she did not have a book in front of her, chances are she was watching the Hallmark channel.
