DELORES “JEANIE” LYNCH Jeanie Lynch unexpectedly waltzed her way into the arms of her Heavenly Father on December 28, 2025. She was born in Indianapolis, IN on June 22, 1935 to Virgil and Arletta Hill. She leaves behind her adoring husband of close to 25 years, Ed Lynch, and sons, Rick (Sherri) Rhonemus, Rusty Rhonemus, Rod Rhonemus and Kurt Clevenger, along with her bonus children, Brenda (Bob) Johnston, Steve (Kelley) Lynch and Cyndi Sue Dassinger. She was predeceased by her son, Randy (Vicki) Rhonemus, bonus son, Mike Lynch, son-in-law, Carl Dassinger Jr., brothers, Jack Hill, Lee Hill and sister, Jeanette Quate. She was the fun grandmother of many grandchildren and great grands along with countless friends. Jeanie always had a joke for every situation and loved to play golf, and cards with the girls at Highlands Ridge. Many parties included circling around her and Ed doing a waltz or some sort of dance. Anytime you were around Jeanie, there was always lots of laughter. She loved being retired and having fun. We miss her already. A celebration of life will be held at Founders Hall in Highlands Ridge, Avon Park, FL on February 11, 2026 at 6:00 p.m.
