Upon graduating with honors from the Florida State University School of Nursing in 1974, Lynne began a nursing career which spanned decades as she compassionately helped others in need at Winter Park Memorial Hospital for 21 years,the Orlando Regional Medical Center, and lastly for United Cerebral Palsy where she served as a therapist working with developmentally delayed children.

Howard of Clarksville, MD; brothers Buddy Elliott of Dade City, FL, Douglas Elliott of Maitland, FL, and David Elliott of Cassellberry, FL; sister Peggy Nagy of Orlando, FL, and close friends, Nancy Schieber, and Kelvin and Debbie Duncan.
Lynne's life was defined by her devotion and compassion towards others, both in her career and in her relationships with family and friends. In addition to spending time with her family, Lynne loved movies, reading, and music (especially guitar). She greatly appreciated humor and was often quick to laugh. Lynne also loved to travel with family when she had the opportunity to do so.

Lynne was good friend to my mom and a significant part of my childhood. I have fond memories of her, John, my mother, and I going to Rock Springs in the 80s. They loved playing music and hanging out on the weekends. My condolences to her family. She will be missed.
