Bethann Lynch

Bethann M. Lynch, age 78, passed away peacefully on November 5, 2025. She was the beloved wife of the late John Lynch, Jr. for 20 years, and together they shared a life filled with warmth, laughter, and a deep love for animals.

Bethann was the cherished sister-in-law of Jim (Wayne), the late Ed, Steve (Conny), Liz (Mark), and Dave (Monique). She was a loving aunt to the late Cathy, Megan (Don), Moriah (Kyle), Samantha (John), Sara, Alyssa, Ashley (Eli), Cherese (Adam), Jeremy (Ashley), and Jackie (Tyler) and great-aunt of 13. She will also be dearly missed by her many cousins, friends, and all who were fortunate to know her kind and gentle spirit.

A lifelong animal lover, Bethann and John shared a passion for caring for All Creatures Great and Small on their farm, where they raised and tended to many animals. Their shared love extended into the world of carriage driving, where they found joy and companionship both in competition and in the simple pleasure of time spent together.

Visitation for Bethann will be held on Tuesday, November 11, from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., with a sharing of memories at 6:30 p.m., at Bagnasco & Calcaterra Funeral Home, 13650 Fifteen Mile Road, Sterling Heights. Interment will follow on Thursday, November 13 at 10:00am at White Chapel Cemetery, 621 West Long Lake Road in Troy. We will be meeting inside the cemetery gates.

In honor of Bethann's lifelong devotion to animals and in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Michigan Humane Society. Her compassion, gentle heart and feisty spirit will live on in every life she touched.
