Lynette Marie Richmond

In Loving Memory of Lynnette Marie Richmond

July 19, 1954 - July 11, 2025

Lynnette Marie Richmond, lovingly known as Lynn, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on July 11, 2025, just shy of her 71st birthday. Born on July 19, 1954, in Denver, Colorado, Lynn's life was a testament to quiet strength, deep compassion, and unwavering devotion to the people and creatures she loved.

Lynn was the cherished wife of Larry Richmond and devoted mother to Brent Greenberg and Sara Carruthers. Her grandchildren, Coda Carruthers and Casady Carruthers, were her pride and joy.

She is survived by her loving mother, Doris Whitchurch. She was preceded in death by her father, Bernard Whitchurch, and her brother, Vern Whitchurch.

A true caretaker in every sense, Lynn spent many years managing a ranch alongside her husband, where she found purpose and fulfillment nurturing the animals and land. Her love of nature and the outdoors shaped her days, and her hands were rarely still - whether tending to her gardens, preparing a warm meal for guests, or finding quiet beauty in the natural world around her.

Lynn had a rare and selfless way of showing up for others. She put the needs of those she loved above her own, quietly offering care, comfort, and support without ever expecting recognition in return. Her legacy lives on not only in her family, but in the community she served with generosity and grace.

She had a passion for entertaining, bringing people together with her delicious cooking, open heart, and warm hospitality. Whether through a home-cooked meal, a walk in the garden, or simply a listening ear, Lynn created a sense of belonging wherever she went.

She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

A funeral service celebrating Lynn's life will be held on Thursday, July 17, 2025, at 10:00 AM at Church of the Valley, located at 301 South Main Street, Twin Bridges, Montana 59754.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Lynn's memory to Windhorse Equine Learning, a horse rescue and education center close to her heart. Contributions can be made online at https://windhorseequinelearning.org
