Lynn Marie (Vogt) Rasmussen

Lynn (Vogt) Rasmussen, 53, of Albert Lea, passed away peacefully on August 4, 2025, after a courageous eight-year battle with melanoma and with her family by her side.

Born on February 1, 1972, in Albert Lea, MN, to Gerald “Jerry” and Geraldine “Gerry” (Siemer) Vogt, Lynn was a beloved daughter, sister, mother, and aunt, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, warmth, and unwavering strength. A proud graduate of Albert Lea High School, Lynn earned her certification as a Physical Therapy Assistant and brought her compassionate spirit to her work, serving as a receptionist at Mrs. Gerry's Kitchen and later as a Physical Therapy Assistant at Dr. Edward's Office. Her gentle nature and generous heart made her a beloved figure in the Albert Lea community.

Lynn found her greatest joy in being Ally’s mother, a role she embraced wholeheartedly and with unwavering devotion. Lynn truly embodied motherhood—nurturing, selfless, and endlessly supportive. Her daughter was the light of her life, and Lynn never missed a school activity, sporting event, or opportunity to cheer her on. As Ally’s biggest fan and fiercest advocate, she offered constant encouragement and unconditional love. Motherhood wasn’t just something Lynn did—it was who she was.

Lynn was known for her warm hugs and her ability to turn strangers into friends. She loved going for walks, dancing, and spending time with her family and friends. Her vibrant personality and social spirit drew people to her, and she made every gathering a celebration. Lynn's strong faith was a guiding light in her life, inspiring all those who were fortunate enough to know her. In addition to her parents, Jerry and Gerry Vogt, those left to cherish Lynn’s memory include, her beloved daughter, Ally Rasmussen (boyfriend, Josh Everett), and Ally’s father, Dan Rasmussen; two brothers, Steve (Chris) and Chad (Amy) Vogt; nieces and nephews, Ashley, Nick, Brandon, Stephanie, Jessica, Benjamin, and Emma Vogt; and many extended family members and countless friends.

Lynn will be lovingly greeted at Heaven’s gates by her Grandparents, Alvin “Al” and Elizabeth “Betty” Siemer, uncles, aunts, cousins, and her loyal companion and treasured Golden Retriever of 16 years, Lexi.

A memorial service will be held at 3:00 PM on Monday, August 11, 2025, at Crossroads Church in Albert Lea, with a visitation beginning at 1:30 PM at the church. The service will be livestreamed. Guests are encouraged to wear Lynn's favorite color, PINK! Following the service, a Celebration of Life Open House will be held from 4:30-6:30 PM at Wedgewood Cove.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Youth for Christ, 116 W Clark St, Albert Lea, MN 56007, in Lynn’s memory.

Lynn built meaningful and lasting connections with those who walked beside her during her cancer journey, and their support meant the world to her. The family would like to express a heartfelt thanks to Lynn’s Oncology Care Team, the staff at One Angora Health, St. Croix Hospice, and the many dedicated caregivers who provided compassionate care.
