Lynn Rasmussen Obituary

Lynn Marie Rasmussen (nee Boresen) was born on November 4, 1946, to Edward and Jeanne Boresen in Greeley, Colorado. Lynn attended school in the Windsor School District, graduating from Windsor High School in 1964. Upon marrying her high school sweetheart, Lynn moved to Portland, Oregon, where she remained until her death on May 29, 2023. Those who knew Lynn enjoyed her witty sense of humor, beautiful singing voice, and lovely smile. A long-time employee of Home Depot, Lynn earned about all of the DIY patches available and enjoyed teaching others the skills she acquired. Lynn was also a voracious reader, well versed in a variety of genres from non-fiction histories to modern murder mysteries. In addition to reading, Lynn loved to travel. One of her favorite trips was an African safari she went on with her mom, and she greatly enjoyed sharing pictures of the experience with others, especially her loving caregivers. Lynn is survived by her mother, Jeanne Dillon, of Fort Collins, Colorado, and many cousins in Northern Colorado. She was preceded in death by her father, Edward Boresen, and her brother, Steven Boresen. A graveside memorial service was held at Sunset Memorial Gardens in Greeley, Colorado, on August 9th.

I can't believe it's been a year already. Hope she is having a wonderful time in heaven with her brother Steve. They were such good people. I'm so glad I got to know them, even if it was for a short time.

She was sharp as a tack and full of laughter. And a lot of fun to be with. We will all miss her.

Lynn was the first classmate I met when we moved south of Windsor. I met her on the bus that first morning. We hit it off right away, and we were friends after that all through high school. We could talk about anything. She was there for me...I was there for her. I miss her to this day. She was my pal.

So many memories of Lynn. She had a beautiful smile, wonderful personality, was a friend to everyone, and a pretty good trombone player. Lynn and I had only one date, but we had a great time, sharing laughter, friendship, and the camaraderie we all shared at good ol' Windsor High. We were close friends, and though we lost track of each other as life got in the way, I always wondered what she would think when I did something great.
I love and miss you Lynn.
