Ocala, Florida formerly of Mountaindale, N.Y.
Lynn Findling, age 71, was born in Monticello, N.Y. to Sidney and Sylvia (Goldress)
Rosenthal. She grew up in Mountaindale, N.Y. and graduated from Fallsburg Central
High School. Lynn married the love of her life, Harvey Findling and they continued
to live in Mountaindale with their sons Marc and Andrew. Lynn and Harvey just
recently celebrated their 52nd wedding anniversary.
After 38 years in business Lynn and Harvey retired to Florida. There she fought the
hard battle against cancer for 18 months and died on April 23, 2020. Lynn never
complained, just greeted each day with bravery and resolve. Always minimizing her
pain and discomfort because she was more concerned about the affect it would have on
Harvey.
Lynn and Harvey moved to Ocala, Florida in 2017. Even though they have lived in
Indigo East (OTOW) for a relatively short time before discovery of cancer, the
outpouring of well wishes and support from her friends during treatment is
heartwarming. Comments such as: A delight to be with, well loved, loving and sweet,
great smile, sweetest and most caring person I've ever known, fun to just sit and
talk to, wonderful sense of humor were just some of the things written on the
sympathy cards that were sent. Lynn was all of these things and more.
Family was the center of Lynn's life. She loved attending school activities,
sporting events, and beamed with pride over the achievements of her children and
grandchildren.
Married 52 years, in business together 38 years Lynn was the steadying and guiding
influence. Always uplifting and supportive. The best partner in life you could wish
for. No amount of time can even begin to heal the heartbreak felt upon losing her.
Lynn is predeceased by her parents Sidney and Sylvia (Goldress) Rosenthal, aunt
Sally Rosenthal, sister-in-law Joanne Findling (Alan). Lynn leaves behind her
husband Harvey, sons Marc (Carrie) and Andrew (Michelle), grandchildren Patrick,
Jillian, Bryson, Devon, and Kayleen, brothers-in-law Alan and Leonard (Gale),
nieces, nephews, cousins, and sister Helaine.
The family would like to express their thanks and gratitude to the doctors, nurses,
aids, and staff of River Garden Hebrew Home in Jacksonville, Florida who provided
Lynn with loving care. They were truly exceptional.
Funeral arrangements were done by Colonial Memorial Funeral Home, Woodbourne, N.Y.
on Sunday, April 26, 2020 at the Hebrew Congregation Cemetery of Mountaindale in
Glen Wild, N.Y. Due to national gathering restrictions and the public health risks
caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic there was no public funeral service.
A public Celebration of Life and Unveiling will be announced at a later date. A
small forest of trees has been donated by friends to be planted in Israel in Lynn's
memory. If you would like to add to that please do so thru the Jewish National Fund
