Estelle Marie Hynson, 66, lost a five-year battle with breast cancer on August 27, at her Glen Burnie, Maryland home under the care of her family and Hospice of the Chesapeake.
Married to Calvin Hynson, Jr., for 48 years, she attended Holy Cross Catholic School in Baltimore and graduated from St. Mary’s Star of the Sea Commercial School. Mrs. Hynson was the loving mother of seven children and grandmother of ten and she was a volunteer for their many activities including team mother and scout leader. She attended every celebration of their achievements regardless of her illness and treatment complications.
Mrs. Hynson was a self-taught artist who presented many hand-painted unique gifts to her family and friends.
She was a record-setting duckpin bowler at the old Southway Bowling Alley for most of her life, and a collector of salt and pepper shakers as well as teapots of all sizes and shapes of which she had several hundred.
Her creativity took a different turn after the birth of her seventh child when she returned to school and earned her cosmetologist license. She worked for several years at the Z-Image Salon in Glen Burnie. Feeling she wanted to give more to others, she also worked at Heartlands Nursing Home in Severna Park where she garnered many friends among her elderly clients.
Mrs. Hynson was last hailed as a breast cancer survivor during the 2006 Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Walk in Baltimore where she sported pink hair, a pink feather boa, and a Panama hat beribboned in pink. Although she made the walk on a cane, she was most proud of the busload of children, family members and friends who had accompanied her on the Walk.
Along with her husband, Mrs. Hynson is survived by six sons, Stephen C. Hynson, David M. Hynson, Richard J. Hynson, John A. Hynson and Nicholas P. Hynson, all of Glen Burnie; Anthony M. Hynson, of Pasadena. She is also survived by one daughter, Angela M. Wilhelm of Glen Burnie. Her brothers are Michael A. Agro, Sr. of Pasadena, John M. Agro of Glen Burnie, and Frank J. Kelly of Baltimore. She is survived by two sisters, Rosemary Schmidt of Glen Burnie and Lori Preslipsky of Pasadena. Along with her children’s spouses and her ten grandchildren, she is also survived by many nieces and nephews. Her parents and one nephew, Jeffrey Schmidt, predeceased her.
