Victoria Lynn (Brown) Linder, age 75 of Fairborn, went home to be with her Lord on Friday, September 25, 2026, at the Soin Medical Center, surrounded by her family. She was born on March 8, 1951, in Dayton.
Victoria was a graduate of Fairborn Park Hills High School, Class of 1968. She was employed as a hairdresser for many years and devoted much of her adult life to being a stay-at-home mother. When her youngest children were in high school, she chose to return to school and earned her certificate as a medical office assistant. She later was employed as a chiropractic medical assistant with Beavercreek Chiropractic Clinic until her retirement in 2018.
She loved Christmas, snowmen, crafts, and shopping, but above all, Victoria treasured time with her children and grandchildren. Her warmth, care, and steady devotion to her family shaped the lives of those around her, and she will be missed by all who knew her.
Victoria is survived by her daughter, Angel Ashbrook and her husband, Jim; her sons, Carlos Linder Jr. and his wife, Jessica, Jacob Linder and his wife, Elizabeth, and Jeremy Linder and his wife, Kim.
