CANTON — Addie A. Litowitz, daughter of Patrick and Rebecca Litowitz of Mill Creek Boulevard, Boardman, was crowned Ohio Miss Job’s Daughter during ceremonies that took place April 25 at the William H.

She was first-chair flute player in the freshman, concert and symphonic bands and earned top ratings in solo and ensemble competitions.

She was a member of Flood Aid by Boardman Students and the speech team, was features editor for the school newspaper and captured first place at the 2008 Youngstown State University Press Day for her human-interest piece.

Litowitz is a freshman majoring in English at Carlow University in Pittsburgh, where she earned dean’s list recognition and served on the university’s Student Promotion and Recruitment Team.
