Lynne was the daughter of Ellsworth "Ed" and Ruth (Skiff) Chantry, born May 20, 1952, in Minneapolis, MN.
When Lynne was young, she was a very athletic tomboy, and enjoyed bowling. She was very artistic and excelled at painting and making Christmas ornaments. She enjoyed gardening with Mike, and Lynne LOVED all animals except snakes! To her though, family was her number one love and priority.
Lynne is survived by her husband, Mike; daughter, Erin (Jim) Budin; (and Jim's children, Jacob (Ryan), Lindsay (Andy), Josh (Mateya), and Luke; and granddaughter, Hayden). Also survived by her brother, Bill Chantry; uncle, David (Janet) Skiff; along with many other cousins, nieces, nephews, family and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Ed and Ruth Chantry; and sister, Karen (Gary) Anfinsen.
