Linda D. Reese, 76, of Allentown, died suddenly at her home Sept. 19, 2025. She was the loving wife of Gordon Reese; they would have celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary Oct. 1. She was the daughter of the late Ira and Evelyn Shamp.

She enjoyed the simpler things in life and spent much of her time at home enjoying nature in her backyard, with a specific fondness for hummingbirds and tending to her gardens.

Always an amazing fashion sense, she also enjoyed nights out with Gordon at Levitt Pavilion and local restaurants. She was also extremely close to her sister and they would often spend hours a day speaking to each other. She was active in her community, spending her Sundays at Wesley United Methodist Church and until recently helping at a local soup kitchen.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by a son, Gregory and his wife, Jacquelyn Otto; sister, Marjorie Price; brother, Terry Albertson; the entire Reese family.

She was predeceased by a son, Matty who died in 2006.

Graveside services will be held noon Sept. 25 at Cedar Hill Memorial Park, Section K, 1700 Airport Road, Allentown.

A donation in her memory may be made to the Lehigh County Humane Society, 640 Dixon St., Allentown, 18103.

Arrangements were made by Bachman, Kulik & Reinsmith Funeral Home, Allentown.
