Lynda A. Flowers 1957-2023

She was born in Lima, July 23, 1957, to Ray and Joyce Flowers. After graduating from Canfield High School, she furthered her studies at Youngstown State University. She went on to work for her parents’ company, Hobart Kitchen Products, in Youngstown.

The most important job she ever had was raising her boys, Nathan, Jarrod and Aaron (Choad), who kept her on her toes. After time, she was blessed with wonderful grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom she adored.

Lynda had numerous hobbies: her love for flowers and planting, and she looked forward to canning food from the garden her son Jarrod planted every year. She would then use what she canned to cook one of her homemade recipes for the family. She always had a knack for picking the perfect gift for friends and family, and would spend countless hours cross stitching personalized Christmas stockings for the family. She looked forward to spending time in Florida in the winters, and sitting by the big window playing card games on her computer in Ohio. One of Lynda’s all-time favorite things to do was plan many of the cruises with her mom and friends.

Lynda was a selfless caregiver to her mother, Joyce, for many years before her passing. Anyone who knew her would agree she had unlimited advice, and she wasn’t shy about speaking her mind.

Lynda leaves behind to carry on her memory, sons, Nathan (Leah) Hartman, Jarrod (Brittney) Hartman; grandchildren, David Struble and Taylor (Nelson) Struble, Ethan (Kiaya) Hartman, Emma Hartman and Sawyer Hartman; as well as four great-grandchildren, with another on the way in September.

Lynda was preceded in death by her parents, Ray E. and Joyce J. Flowers; son, Aaron Martin Hartman; grandson, Marshall Raymond Hartman; and two brothers, Sterling Martin and Stephen W. Flowers.

Per Lynda’s request, a private service and celebration of life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Lynda’s name to a charity of your choosing.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Edward J. Fox and Sons Funeral Home, 4700 Market St., Boardman. Family and friends of Lynda may visit www.foxfuneralhome.org to view this obituary and to leave condolences for the family.
