Lynn was diagnosed with kidney cancer in September of 2022. She fought up until the very end with a positive attitude and a strong faith.
Lynn has been welcomed to the Crystal Hills Assembly of God in Paynesville where she made several friends that became another family. Lynn and Lee were baptized again as a reflection of the strong faith they have on the Lord. She is now without pain and with our Savior Jesus Christ.
