Our GG and Grandmalynn retired from Brady Middle School Orange, Ohio where she worked as a media assistant, teacher. Lynn then kept herself busy entertaining friends and with golfing, playing her guitar, art projects, craft shows, and won awards for photography - a true artist. When Bob retired, they decided to move to The Villages, FL where they enjoyed golf, Lynn's hole in one, plus live music every night, and meeting retired neighbors from all over the world.

She lived a whole and happy life, filled with love for her family and friends. She treasured time with her children and grandchildren. She passed surrounded by their love. Because she lived, there will still be joy for us as well.
