Lynn Estelle (Camino) Hagar, age 70, passed away, July 10, 2013, in Flower Mound, TX. She was born on June 4, 1943 in Jackson Heights, NY to Albion and Estella Camino. At age 9, her family moved from New York to Kansas City, MO, where she grew up. Lynn graduated from Paseo High School in Kansas City, MO in 1961 and graduated with a B.A. degree from William Woods College in May of 1965, majoring in accounting. She married her college sweetheart, Richard E. Hagar, on June 26, 1965 in Grandview, Missouri. Lynn was always interested in music, especially, singing. She sang in her church choir while in high school and in the choir at college. In 1974, Lynn joined the Somerset Valley Chorus , a chapter of Sweet Adelines International, the worldwide organization of women singers committed to advancing the musical art form of barbershop harmony through education and performance. When her husband and family was sent to Melbourne, Australia in 1981 on a 3-year business assignment, Lynn missed the singing and camaraderie of Sweet Adelines. She decided to put her energy and efforts into establishing the first chartered Sweet Adelines chorus in Australia. Her work culminated in the chartering of the Yarra Valley Chapter of Sweet Adelines in early 1983. Today, there are almost 3 dozen Sweet Adelines chapters in Australia. Lynn is survived by her husband of 48 years, Richard E. Hagar; two sons; two grandchildren; and numerous extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents and an infant brother, Douglas Frank Camino.
