Lynne's still on my birthday list. What a blessing this dear lady was to me for almost 25 years in the workplace. We are all unique, but she was an amazing combination of wisdom, wit and spunk. Blessings to Kathy if you are still on this loop.

Lynn was such an inspiration to me. We met through our common interest of the dulcimer. My prayers go out to the family.
Sincerely,

Lynne was one of the most memorable humans I’ve ever known.

She was so full of life, was present with whoever was in front of her and always learning. She could, and usually did, fill up a room.

As a new dentist starting my practice, I made referrals and she managed a multi-specialty satellite practice close by my office. Her smile always jumped through the phone and after my first employee relocated, she came by the office and I offered her a job .

We learned together and slowly built a practice that mirrored our desire for honesty, integrity, relationship, fun and quality. We progressed from pencil and paper to computer. We still laughed about our first computer with massive 180MB hard drive that the installer said was so big it was ‘the last computer you’ll ever need’.

She loved weather events like hurricanes and snow and kept a weather radio at her desk playing digital voice. She said she predicted snow with her trick knee and was so accurate. We were impressed until we found out her Mother, 30 minutes West of us, would call and tell her it was snowing.

She always had wind up toys on her desk to entertain kids and scared adults, and many people brought her more. She had her favorite pen and kept an immaculately need desk area. She knew where everything was in a moment. She was mother hen and personal advisor to staff (and me) and calmed many an anxious patient. She loved her parents, Buck, her cats Simi and Tippy (and others before) and later Jack, Kathy and ‘Zada-bug’.

She arranged for her clogging group to dance at our wedding rehearsal dinner, directed our wedding and later coordinated my 40th birthday party where her alter ego, Lucille, showed up. She was so amazing when she got in character dressing up like an old lady, playing off people in a crowd and singing songs about her bloomers. However, she care deeply and related to our infertility but greatly rejoiced with our adoptions. Our kids called her Aunt Lynne for a long time.

She was a talented oil painting artist, painted office clipboards for all seasons, made xmas ornaments, made beautiful Christmas angels out of safety pins and lights, painted T-shirts, made computer forms for the office and clogged for many years. She always took time off for clogging at the Folk Festival at the State Fair. She even created and painted full size animals and decorations for that event. She was also an excellent interior designer and loved playing dulcimer when clogging was no longer an option.

We are all unique but Lynne was amazing. From my staff who worked with her-Donna, Lisa, Halcyon and Mandy as well as the rest of my staff who met her, and my family, our deepest condolences to Buck and her family.

Through many a Saturday, in all kinds of weather, you were there by my side, helping me through each market day with a smile on your face or the occasional roll of your eyes. The world was a better place with you in it my friend, and I miss you dearly.

I met Lynne at our high school's 50th., anniversary. Bucky and I graduated from New Hope High School, New Hope, Alabama. Everyone took to Lynne right away. She was such a caring and personable person. She fit right in with all of us . She was very friendly, very interested in what we had to say, and shared her stories of the things she loved to do. Clearly she was very talented and creative, and had so much love and joy in her heart .

God Bless you Bucky and other family members and friends, hold tight to those precious memories.

Lynne was a part of the reason we moved to DeerLake when we decided to move to Brevard. Her generous spirit, her many kindnesses and her upbeat personality made her one of my favorite people. She helped decorate our house, was my walking buddy and close confidant. So many wonderful memories of this dear friend. I am so grateful I had the chance to be her friend. I so admired her courage as she faced this illness. Buck, we are here for you and for Presley. We can lean on one another during this hard time

I feel very blessed to have known Lynne. Being fairly new to Deerlake, Lynne was quick to share her friendship, loving spirit, sense of humor and kindness readily. You will leave a hole in the hearts of many and will be missed greatly by all who were honored to know you. Love and miss you my friend.

Aunt Lynne's love for Buck, family and friends will always be inspiring. Her kindness to others knew no bounds, and her artristry was amazing as well. I will always carry Lynne in my heart, and be forever grateful for her love and influence. I love you, Aunt Lynne.
