Lynn Howard Obituary

Lynn Bonner Howard, 55, of North Strabane, passed away after a brief illness on Monday, December 4, 2023, with her family by her side. Lynn Bonner Howard, 55, of North Strabane, passed away after a brief illness on Monday, December 4, 2023, with her family by her side. Beloved wife of Patrick Howard for 29 wonderful years; loving mother of Matthew (Amber) Crow, Lia Howard a/k/a "Wormie" and Connor Howard (her sparkle); caring grandmother of Claire and Cassidy Crow; treasured sister of Kelly Miller; cherished daughter of Sandra Bonner and the late Daniel Bonner. She is also survived by many loving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins. Lynn received her Bachelor's degree in Accounting from California University of Pennsylvania. She then attended Shadyside School of Nursing to become a Registered Nurse. She worked for many hospitals around the Pittsburgh Region. Most recently was employed as an RN at St. Clair Hospital's Emergency Room for last seven years, where she loved her co-workers dearly. She had a vast love of music, attending countless concerts with her husband. Some of her favorite concerts were Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, the Rolling Stones and Twenty One Pilots. Lynn was also very interested in following the British Royals, especially Queen Elizabeth II. It was not uncommon to find her searching for and reading articles about the British Monarchy. She was a huge fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins, especially her "Other Man" Evgeni Malkin. You better not get in her line of fire if she ever heard anyone criticizing "Geno" Malkin. She also loved going on vacations to Boston, Maine, San Diego, anywhere in the southwest and many more. Earlier in life, she also enjoyed hiking and rock climbing with her husband, always watching the Blair Witch Project the night before, in preparation of a hike or climb, which could be the reason why her favorite holiday was Halloween. Lynn will be remembered for her full of life personality and small by mighty charm, and most of all her love of friends and family. Lynn held family and friends close to her heart and always enjoyed get togethers and family functions. She will be dearly missed by all. Funeral arrangements by BEINHAUERS.
