Lynda loved her home and farm she shared with her husband, Mac. She was a wonderful gardener and enjoyed the horses, dogs, and many cats who also lived on their farm. But most of all, Lynda loved people, every person she knew. She was a totally devoted wife, mother, sister, aunt, teacher and friend. She gave of herself completely to her Lord and her church family, and in turn received many blessings and serenity from these priceless relationships. Praying constantly and working endlessly. Lynda was a truly gentle woman who gave everyone she knew everything she could. She will be missed and she will be cherished forever.
