Lynn was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, spending most of life
caring for others. She was an active member of Holy Trinity
Church for many years. Lynn shared a very close bond with
her friend Marilyn Sanford. She loved spending time with her family by
sharing a meal together and gathering with her siblings and their
families, walks with her husband and chatting on the phone
“catching up on the news”. Lynn had a very good
sense of humor, sharp wit and a big heart, always making sure everyone
in her family was ok.

son, John (Katherine); daughter, Lindsay (Garrett); grandchildren,
Huck, Sadie, Willie, Ida and Abe; her sisters, Mitzi (Wayne), Carla
(Placide), Doreen (Harris), Valerie (Mark) and her brother, Ervin

life battling cancer and being cared for at home by her husband. The
family would like to thank Dr. James Collins, Dr. Daniel French and
dietitian Patricia Campbell and many others who provided exceptional
care and support.
The funeral will be held 11 a.m. Friday, May
