However, a Zoom link is posted on the bottom of Lynette's obituary to watch her service virtually. Lynette Marie Honner passed away peacefully on Friday, February 5, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, with family by her side. She was born April 22, 1949, in Wagner, SD, to Phyllis (Burke) Rezac and Robert Rezac. She grew up the oldest of 9 siblings in Wagner, SD, and was proud of her small-town roots. Great memories were made with friends and family over a soda fountain Coca-Cola, Long John donut, or the Spot Cafe’s hot beef. She married Gary Honner on December 27, 1968, and they enjoyed 52 years of marriage. As a family, special memories were made camping and sitting around a campfire under the stars at the Missouri River. Lynette loved decorating her house for the holidays, and especially enjoyed holiday gatherings and celebrations. Lynette moved to Sioux Falls in August 1979, where she spent more than 40 years operating an in-home daycare. Lynette had a big heart that was shared not only with the children she cared for, but also with countless others over the years who thought of her as a second mom. She loved her role as grandma to 14 of the best grandkids around. They will remember her for keeping great snacks in her cupboards, hosting sleepovers, and summertime pool parties. It was the simple things in life that made her happiest. Things like sitting by a warm fireplace, laughing with her brothers and sisters, watching and cheering for her favorite sports teams, offering someone a place to rest their head or lending a listening ear, baking German chocolate cake and kolaches, and watching her flowers bloom in the springtime. Grateful for sharing her life are her children Steve (Dana) Honner, Sioux Falls, SD, Scott (Paige) Honner, Sioux Falls, SD, Nicki (Brandon) Hess, Fort Collins, CO, Becki Smith, Livingston, MT, and Kelli (Brian) Spader, Sioux Falls, SD, grandchildren Jerzy, Danni, Brecli, Max, Luke, Macy, Josi, Jhaimann, Briggs, Nash, Hawthorne, Oliver, Eames and Teak, and great-grandchildren Mac and Mesa. She was preceded in death by her parents, and her infant sister Barbara. There is a headstone in a cemetery in Ireland that reads, “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.” Lynette touched many people’s lives, and her memory can best be honored through laughter and an appreciation for life’s simple joys. Heritage Funeral Home is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
