Most weekends, she was at the race track watching her family race. Her father, her brother, her brother-in-law, and her son were all race car drivers. She loved watching her son, Brian, most of all and would get her feathers ruffled on a bad call. Lynda had a heart of gold and would help anyone with anything that she possibly could. She was a beautiful woman inside and out and ornery as could be. You were lucky to know her. She is survived by her husband, Donald Swan, their two children, Brian Swan and Heather Hinkle-Cash, and their 8 children, Haley, Hana, Kyle, Kaci, Kadence and Kenady Hinkle and Lilly and Mara Cash, by her parents, Judy and Jesse Harrington, her brother, Jimmy and sister, Lisa.
