Linda L. Konya 1943-2025

She was born on Easter Sunday, April 25, 1943, in Fort Gay, W.Va., the daughter of Woodrow Crabtree and Mary Jackson Troicky.

A skilled cosmetologist, Linda devoted many years to her career, successfully owning a salon where she touched the lives of many with her talent and care.

Linda’s passion extended beyond her professional life; she was also an exceptional cook, often preparing meals for family and even for her beloved granddogs. Her culinary skills brought joy to those fortunate enough to share a meal with her, creating lasting memories built around the table.

In her younger years, Linda found great joy in swing dancing, a hobby that brought her laughter and lasting memories.

Linda is survived by her children, Janice (Lee) Gross of Port Charlotte, Florida, and Alex (Maria) Konya of Memphis, Tennessee; grandson, Steven Gross of Atlanta, Georgia; sister, Barb Crabtree of Bulverde, Texas; her longtime companion, Josef Kren; and several granddogs who were dear to her heart.

Linda was preceded in death by her husband, Alex Konya; and her sisters, Roberta Crabtree and Brenda Sue Crabtree.

A graveside service will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 7, 2025, at St. John Cemetery, 3900 Villa Maria Road, Lowellville, OH 44436.
