Lynora "Lynn" Budd

Beloved sister Lynora "Lynn" Budd of Southampton, New Jersey, passed away at the age of 79 on February 24, 2026. A sister is a unique blessing that will last forever in our hearts. With a smile on her face, her passing was quiet and comfortable that evening at her sister Salli and Ed Lemke's home.

Lynn was affectionately known to her family as "Buttons" and led an active life. She enjoyed playing the accordion, dancing, she was a model while attending the Patricia Stevens Modeling School, and was active in her ski club, even becoming an instructor. Growing up, Lynn played a central role at home as the first born of 8 children. Lynn was proud of her Catholic faith and made sure that the family attended St. Eugenes every Sunday. She was a dedicated student and upon graduating from Nicolet High School, went on to become a legal secretary for over 20 years at Foley and Lardner law firm and continued her legal secretarial skills in Philadelphia.
