Lynnette Barrett, 73, passed away on February 5, 2026, in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. She was born on September 20, 1952 in Waterford, Michigan, and spent her life being a bright and steady light to everyone around her.

Lynnette is survived by her loving husband, Dan Oelker, and her four children: Chad Barrett, Kalie Kosek, Richard Ganther, and Chris Ganther and her grandchildren Kirsten, Alex, Baillee, Gavin and Harper.
