Leave a tribute for Lynn Anderson McGimsey.
Lynn was a wonderful, sweet person who was kind to everyone. Her gentle nature and sweet words made you always enjoys her company. She was a good friend to many and probably saved many people’s lives by being a designated driver for them. I’m so sorry for the family and friend’s loss. Prayers for all who cared for her, she will be missed. Shirley Dale and Jace Ollis
