They spent their retirement years in Havana, FL, "Their Paradise".

Lynda had a contagious laugh, a smile that could light up a room and was adored by all who knew her. She leaves to cherish her memories, her daughters Theresa Lynn de la Noval (Russ), Maria Lynn Jett (Brandon), and Andrea Roush (Clark). Grandchildren Christina, Austin, Olivia, Sydney, Morgan and Kendall. Siblings Dennis, Jackie, Doug, Scott, Rox, Teri and Julie, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her sister Nita and her brother Ed.
