Mary Lynn Harding Pinter, age 87, of Lavonia, passed away peacefully at her home on Saturday, November 9, 2024. Born on May 12, 1937, in New Brunswick, NJ, she was the beloved daughter of the late John Morgan Harding, Sr. and Helen Sabo Harding.

Lynn found immense joy in her role as a homemaker, devoted to her husband and children. Beyond her cherished family life, she was a self-employed massage therapist and served as a personal trainer and gym manager for Computer Associates. After retiring, Lynn moved to Weaverville, NC in 1997 and subsequently settled in Lavonia in 2017. In Lavonia, she became a treasured member of the community, known for her kindness and warmth. However, her most cherished roles were those of a loving mother and a doting grandmother.

Lynn was preceded in death by her husband of 64 years, Ernest Victor Pinter, and her brother, Morgan Harding. She leaves behind a loving family who will continue to honor her memory: her daughter, Lynn Pinter Fenske and her husband, Sean; her son, Matthew Pinter (Mischelle); her grandchildren, Morgan Fenske Herron, Cassandra Fenske Webb (Roger), and Sean Clinton Fenske (Jessica); as well as six great-grandchildren, Charly Lynn Herron, Raiden Eli Fenske, Johnny Klaus Brannen, Helen Grace Webb, Victoria Renee Webb, and Callie Jane Webb.
