Lynne would walk into a room and it would light up, she always made people at ease, no matter the setting! We lost a great person who is missed by so many.

I did not know Lynne but I know Ric. During our 40th reunion, I felt honored to be able to see and sit on the bench that Ric had dedicated to her. He was so proud to show it and I think it is such an amazing tribute to her. Clearly she made an impact on everyone she came in contact with. I love how she continuously tried to make the world a better place with her love for beauty, wellness and nutrition. We can only imagine how many people she impacted on a daily basis. I think of the Prucha family so often. Be well...

I've always had a fondness of the Manthey family. I have known them since first grade and am very saddened to hear of Lynne's passing. I remember she contacted me after Bill's passing and expressed regret for not fully appreciating the saddness after my own brother's passing many years earlier. How kind and thoughtful in her own grief. I will never forget that compassion. I am sure that she is in a better place if for just that one act. My heart goes out to her family. May God bless you all. Tom.

Although I only met Lynne briefly in 2010, She treated me as if I were a life long friend. Ric please know that though I live thousands of miles away my thoughts are heavy with your loss. I do not morn the loss of friends, I celebrate the time that we shared, how ever brief, in this life. Peace.

Lynne cut my hair since I was a very little girl. She would always ask me "How would you like your hair cut, Beth?" I'd look at her so sincere and I would answer like I always answered her, "Cut it long, please!" (My poor hair was so thin and just had such a hard time growing) Mrs. Prucha would let out a little laugh & a great big smile and would always say, "I'll only trim it a little to keep it healthy, I promise!" :0) She cut my hair since I was toddling around until the day of my wedding when she worked her magic & made my bridal party so beautiful while we drank champagne & ate a light breakfast. I can remember her putting on music and dancing while we all got beautified. :0) I'm so sorry to hear this. She was ALWAYS so kind to me & she had the heart of an angel. She truly was a wonderful woman. She will be missed.
Thinking about Ric, Jake, Katie & all the rest of her close friends and family.
