Lynne was preceded in death by her parents, Michael “Jerry” and Eldora Hickey, and sister Diana Dalton. Alfred was preceded in death by his parents, Manuel and Sofia, sister Mary Montgomery, and brothers Ruben Márquez and Robert Márquez.

Both Alfred and Lynne were known for their kindness, opening their homes and welcoming in anyone who needed a home-cooked meal, a place to stay, a fresh start, or a little extra love. They built a home that was considered a second home to many. Alfred was known for his sense of humor, even if “it gets old,” as Lynne put it. Lynne was known for her bubbly joy and lifetime of caring for others. Lynne and Alfred gave their children the ultimate gift of unwavering love and support. They will be dearly missed, but their family is happy for them to be reunited in heaven.
