Lynn Marchant Obituary

RACINE - Lynn J. Marchant, 57, passed away in the Aurora Medical Center in Kenosha on Tuesday, January 11, 2011, following a long illness. She was born in Racine on July 21, 1953, the daughter of the late William and Doris (nee: Post) Zinke. Lynn had been employed by Surgitek until her physical disability forced her to retire. She enjoyed playing Bingo, but her greatest enjoyment came from being with her family and friends. Surviving are her daughter, Tiffany McWhorter; son, Willie J. McWhorter Jr.; grandchildren, Vanessa Zinke, Eric Zinke, Nalah McWhorter, and Naleah Mayfield; sister, Lois (Robert) Rashleger; brothers, Jerry (Janice) Zinke and Robert 'Bobby' Zinke; and sister-in-law, Lorraine Zinke, all of Racine. She is further survived by her "in-laws," Maggie (Calvin) Caldwell of Ohio, Ruth Foster of Milwaukee, Ronald (Muhminnah) Mahdi of Boston, Mass., Kim McWhorter, Debra (Lionel) Perkins, Gail McWhorter, and Rodney (Kerrisha) McWhorter; and a very special friend, Mary Jane Kraft. Her nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends that are very near and dear to her heart, but too many to mention by name, further survive her. In addition to her parents, Lynn was preceded in death by her daughters, Dorrie Zinke and Telena McWhorter; her brother, William Zinke Jr.; and her former husband, Willie J. McWhorter Sr. Her Funeral service will be held on Monday, January 17, 2011, at 11 a.m., with Rev. Willie Scott officiating. Burial will follow in West Lawn Memorial Park. Visitation will be in the funeral home on Monday from 10 a.m. until the time of the service. In keeping with Lynn's wishes, in lieu of flowers, memorials should be directed to Tiffany to help care for Lynn's grandchildren. The family of Lynn would like to extend an extra special thank you to Dr. Mullane, Kelly Konesko NP, Dr. Taylor, Dr. Dino, Dr. Brown and her entire nursing staff, for her amazing care during this difficult illness. She also wanted to send a special thank you to her "guardian angels," Jerry and Janice Zinke. DRAEGER-LANGENDORF FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORY 4600 County Line Road 552-9000 www.draeger-langendorf.com
