Lynn will be missed by everyone that had the pleasure of knowing her. She was always so sweet, caring and a joy to be around. Rest in peace my dear friend.
Lynn was such a sweet and happy soul. I vividly remember the last time we ran into each other shopping and the smile on her face could have lit a football field! She will be sorely missed and I hate I will be out of town and unable to attend her final earthly celebration. Look down on us and know you were loved! L
I worked with Lynn at Wachovia Bank many years ago. She was a wonderful person. Very kind and gentle, and intelligent. Even after I left Wachovia, Lynn kept in touch with me and came to our wedding. We may have lost her company for now, but one day we will reunite with her because of the one true Hope, Jesus Christ. Heaven truly does grow sweeter. We send prayers and love to the family.

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
