Lynn treasured her husband, children, and grandchildren above all else. Family was her greatest joy. She had a bright, fun personality and loved “her people” fiercely.

Lynn never missed a school or club event, where you could often find her & Dave on the very front row cheering. Recently, Lynn worked part-time for State Farm Insurance in Butler, MO as an office manager. In her spare time, you would find her happily alongside her two grandchildren, shopping for flowers and plants, or crafting.
