Lynn Sheppard-Rutledge Obituary
Lynn grew up in Jamaica, Queens, New York, then the family relocated to Chesapeake Virginia during her late teens. Lynn resided in Chesapeake at the time of her death.
After many adventures, Lynn settled down and became mom to her shining stars, Lance Barrett, Andre Ortiz, and Kris Ortiz. Lynn adored her three boys who have grown into three good men. She considers them her greatest achievement. Family Blessings continued with the arrival of Lynn's precious grandbabies-Lance, Athena, and Cyan Barrett. They were truly the sunshine of her life.
Lynn had an artistic flair and many people had Lynn's creations-namely, her fabulous holiday wreaths adorning their homes. Lynn was hilarious. No matter the occasion, she always had a "Lynnism" that would crack everyone up.
She will be missed by so many who appreciated the compassionate, generous and thoughtful person she was.
