Background
*Lynne left us very unexpectedly, at this time her family is seeking monetary help to cover some extraneous costs for her service and funeral. Any remaining funds will be donated in Lynne's name to Allen centennial gardens (who are donating flowers to the service and was a favorite place of Oma’s), public radio, or one of of the many causes she chose to support.*
Lynne Margaret Faulkner, age 70, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023 in Madison, WI.
Lynne, also lovingly called “Oma”, was a vibrant and pivotal person to so, so many people. Lynne’s caring intuition and attention to life’s smallest (or largest) wonderments defined her personality. Her magical way of experiencing the world is a gift she shared generously to all living beings through laughter, stories, music, art, and curiosity.
Her love was boundless and has been rooted deeply in us; throughout her communities, throughout her family, and, like she taught us, everywhere.
Lynne is survived by her son, Kristoffer "Kris" Bohling; daughter-in-law, Thy Tran; daughter, Emily Timmons; five grandchildren, Myla, Hana, Ivan, Aubree and Thea; and brothers, Claude Jr., Phil, Tom, Dan, Steve and Doug Faulkner. She was preceded in death by her parents, Claude and Dorothy Faulkner.
A funeral service will be held at GUNDERSON EAST FUNERAL AND CREMATION CARE, 5203 Monona Drive, Madison, at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2023. Visitation will be held at the funeral home from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2023, and also from 10 a.m. until the time of the service on Wednesday.
Note: Plans for an additional memorial service to be held in Lincoln, Nebraska are being formed as arrangements continue to be made. Details and updates will be posted here. Contribute
