Lynda E. Lester, 72, passed away peacefully on December 11, 2023, supported by the love of family and friends in Los Angeles, California. Lynda was the oldest of eight children born to Paul, Sr. and Annette (Ziemke) Lester of Toledo Ohio and they preceded her in death. Lynda followed her dreams to California in the 1970's and embraced a lifetime of adventure and learning. She never met a stranger, intuitively asking just the right questions and listening carefully to hear and craft the stories of those she met. Lynda was an entrepreneur with the gifts of relationship and organization. She was known for her professionalism as she participated in almost every aspect of the creative process as producer, creative director, writer and director in a diverse spectrum of projects from fundraising events, seminars, corporate meetings, commercials, documentaries and two independent films. Lynda enjoyed life: she was a world traveler (although often directionally impaired), quick-witted, political aficionado, party planner extraordinaire, and generous supporter of those she met in life. Lynda was loved and is survived by her siblings, Nancy, Paul (Kathy), Pat (Rob Marks), Judy, Peggy (Greg Holden), Becky Black (David) and Tim (Tracy) And granddaughter (Madison Biddle). She was the fun aunt who loved, spoiled and guided her nieces and nephews. Lynda's joie de vivre will remain in the hearts of all she touched.
