Lynn Hearldson Obituary
Lynn Marie Hearldson (Grossguth)
Lynn was born in Los Angeles, California on December 16, 1971, the fifth daughter of Helen and Len Grossguth. Lynn attended St. Louise Catholic School and Eastside Catholic high School in Bellevue before graduating from Interlake High School in 1989. She attended two years of Bellevue Community College before leaving to focus on her family with her husband as a homemaker and also her creative interests which included music, jewelry making and painting.
Lynn leaves behind a relationship with her husband, Scott Andrew Hearldson, of 16 years; and three children, Corey James (8), Emilyn Faith (6) and Luke Andrew (2). Her family was her first priority and being a mother brought her the greatest joy. Her children will forever benefit from the unconditional love and strength of spirit she demonstrated every day of their lives.
Lynn will be remembered by friends and family for her sense of humor, patience, creative mind and style as well as her strength and grace, even when faced with adversity. Lynn's will to survive and her positive attitude in the last days of her illness provided a living, loving example to all.
Lynn also leaves behind many dear family members and friends that will miss her greatly: Mother and Father, Helen and Leonard Grossguth; sisters, Michele, son, Conner; Therese Chinnick, Kristen Musialek (Joe) sons, Jordan and Ryan; Jennifer Zill (Mark) daughter, Avery, son, Morgan; Extended family, Lynnelle and James Ron Hearldson, Pamela Arwood son, Hunter, Dana Willits (Gerald) sons, Damon and Devon; Many relatives in both Canada and California also share the family's grief at losing a young spirit so full of life and love.
Even though Lynn is not here with us, her courageous spirit will live on in the lives of her three children and the family and friends that were blessed to be a part of her life.
A memorial service to celebrate Lynn's life will be held at 1 p.m., on April 24, 2007, at St. Jude's Catholic Church in Redmond, WA.

I grew up with the Grossguths and lived down the street from them. Growing up we had many fun summers playing outside as well as taking walks to 7-11. Today I walked to 7-11 with my nephews and my son. On the way back I decided to stop and take a look at a light post that I remembered writing on when we were all hanging out together. I started to look on the post in which there was all kinds of writing but none that I recognized. I then looked up and saw in what I knew was my writing in a heart (Lynn G + Ricky Schroeder) I cannot believe it is still there and the fact that it was for Lynn. I miss her and will always cherish in which was some of the most wonderful memories I have with the Grossguths from my childhood.

I was privileged to know Lynn through work and to see her great smile, sense of humor, and hopeful spirit. She inspired me with her tenacity and love of her family.

I will always remember Lynn as one of the hardest working employees that has ever been working with us. To the degree of going into labor - heading to the hospital - and calling to say she would be unable to finish her shift. Her smile was contagious! Her spirit was great.

Growing up with the Grossguth girls was one of the best memories of my childhood. Whether it was making breakfast while listening to Corey Hart on the radio, or piling into the volvo station wagon to go to church, Lynn was a ball of giggles and laughter. Thank you, Lynn, for making me feel like the "sixth Grossguth girl" I always wanted to be ;)
Our thoughts and prayers are with Lynn and her family. She always had a smile and a laugh for anyone who needed it. We will miss you Lynn.
Much love - Kathy, Dave, Jameson and Ashlyn.

Lynn was a wonderful daughter-in-law and a wonderful and special wife for our son. The children, Corey, Emilyn, and Luke are all delights who will be a constant reminder of Lynn and her love for her family. We have all been blessed by her, her positive attitude, her love and her passion for life. Her flair for art adds an additional and beautiful dimension which she has left for all of us.

My beautiful cousin Lynn...my question will always be "why you?" But I guess that there are bigger things planned for you in the afterlife. Your beauty and spirit were larger than life and now you have been chosen to be an angel. Your spirit, courage and grace will forever be an inspiration to me and will carry me through any adversity that I or my family should face. I'll never forget that the best summer of my childhood was spent with you and how I will always cherish that time. I am lucky enough to have a photo of you, Jennifer and I in front of that old camper from our trip back to California. It sits on my desk and brings me joy everyday. I will see you again one day, this I know. Until then you will remain in my memory and never forgotten. My love and prayers to Scott, Cory, Emilyn, Luke, Auntie Helen and Uncle Len, Michele, Kristin, Therese, Jennifer and the extended family and friends in their time of grief.

My sisters and I have grown up with the Grossguth Clan and cherish every bit of laughter, love and spirit. Lynn and I went to school together and I have such loving, hilarious memories of her. I am so grateful to have known her. I cannot express our sincere love and peace at this time to all her family and children. Thank you lynn.

Lynn was my younger sister by 15 months...a fact that I made sure she knew as we were growing up! Every happy memory I have of my childhood, Lynn was in it. She was the first person I saw in the morning, and the last person I saw at night....we shared a room for 18 years...it felt strange to move into a room without her..stranger still imagining living the rest of my adult life not ever seeing her again...I will miss her every day of my life..the only comfort I have is knowing her memory and life will continue in her three children..through them we all will have a little piece left of the spirit that shown so bright...Love forever and always, Jenn, Mark,Avery and Morgan

Lynn was an inspiration to everyone dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Her strength was amazing and she lived by her own rules until the end. Her gift of love will always live on in her children and the rest of her family. My thoughts are with you all.

My heart is torn, my spirit is shaken, my best friend is gone.
Lynn and I appreciate all of the help and hope that we received from everyone the past two years while Lynn was sick, and more than anything, remember that Lynn was strong in her beliefs to the end, and she wouldn't want us to be sad, Lynn wants us all to be happy and together in our strength to continue her legacies.

Lynn was my baby sister, and she lived her life proving that she could take care of herself! Lynn's greatest joy was taking care of her own family, and I know Corey, Emilyn and Luke will always feel her love around them. We miss you already, Lynn -- but we know you're around us.

What a great, strong, courageous, woman, mother and friend. Lynn lives on in my, as well as many others memories as all of the above and will be missed greatly. Her husband Scott remains strong and is a perfect reminder in his actions of late that their bond was inpenetrable and eternal.

Lynn certainly had amazing strength through it all. I saw her play with the kids in the yard, even though she wasn't feeling well. She made sure the kids did their homework and were ready for school each day. I never heard Lynn complain, but always have positive words. She was always patient with her children and gave them smiles and hugs often. What a courageous lady!
