Lynne Johnstone Obituary

Lynne Roberta Johnstone, 47 years old, loving wife to George "Scotty" Johnstone left our world on February 9, 2021. Born and raised in Somerville, Lynne enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, and moved to the South Shore when she married the love of her life in 2000. A kind- and warm-hearted sister, daughter, friend, and wife Lynne always had a kind word for everyone around her and lit up the room with her smile! Daughter to the late Robert and Rose Monaco, Lynne leaves behind her husband George; sisters Patty, Debbie, Lisa, Paula and her husband Ray DiNitto, and Dena; and brothers Robert, Mike and his wife Rhonda, Stephen and his wife Connie, and Alan and his wife Marie; Daughter in law to the late Linda Johnstone and her life partner Sharon Head; sisters-in-law Cindy and her husband Rodolfo Gonzalez and Kelly and her husband Mike Janerico along with 19 nieces and nephews. Lynnes love for her cats was legendary and she was a strong supporter of adopting cats in need so in lieu of flowers please send donations to Save-A-Heartbeat Kitty Rescue: www.paypal.com/paypalme/SaveAHeartbeat

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I met Lynne when she adopted one of our rescue cats. I felt very happy that the cat was getting a new lease on life w/a wonderful person from a wonderful family. Even though I wasn't close to Lynne, I feel a void. xoxo to her family.
