Lynda Cantrell

Lynda Charlene Cantrell, 78, of Spartanburg, South Carolina, passed away peacefully at her home on December 19, 2024. Born on March 13, 1946, in Spartanburg, she was the daughter of the late Harlie and Erma Cariens. Lynda was a loving mother, grandmother, and friend, whose kind and nurturing spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Lynda attended Spartanburg High School and worked for over 30 years as a bookkeeper at Winn Dixie Grocery Stores, where she formed lasting connections with her colleagues and customers. After retiring, she enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her five grandchildren, who were the light of her life. She cherished every moment spent with them and found great joy in watching them grow.

Lynda is survived by her three sons: Stephen Cantrell (wife DeeDee) of Spartanburg, Andrew Cantrell of Spartanburg, and Mark Cantrell (wife Samantha) of Clover, SC. She is also survived by her five beloved grandchildren: Jessie, Jamie, Hayley, Hannah and Jackson.

Lynda also shared a special bond with her beloved dog, Walt, whose companionship brought her comfort and happiness. Walt was a constant source of joy and affection in her life.

A private family service will be held to celebrate Lynda’s life. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Spartanburg Humane Society, a cause that was dear to Lynda’s heart, in honor of her love for her dog, Walt.

Lynda’s legacy of love, kindness, and devotion to her family will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be remembered for her gentle nature and the profound impact she had on the lives of her loved ones.

Rest in peace, Lynda. Your memory will remain in our hearts forever.
