Lennora Brinkmann Kluck Lynch, 95, of Waco, peacefully passed away on May 26, 2023 and entered her Heavenly home. She died in Ascension Living Providence Village St. Catherine's hospice care unit. She was born on October 18, 1927 to Otto Brinkmann and Matilda Wedeking Brinkmann in Ross, TX. She attended school through Ross Junior High School. During World War II, she worked in Waco. When her future husband, Lornze Kluck, returned from serving his country in the war, they were married on November 9, 1946. They farmed in the West community for 9 years before moving to Waco.

She worked as an accountant for Wm. Cameron & Co., Fleetwood Enterprises (Terry Travel Trailers), Imperial Woodworks, Inc. before retiring in 1984 to take care of her mother. Following her mother's death, she once again worked for Imperial Woodworks, Inc. until 1997. She and her husband moved to Hewitt area in 1998 after she retired. In 2000 they moved to the Clifton Rainbow Retirement Center; however, her husband's illness brought them back to Waco to be closer to their daughter in 2003.

She and Lornze moved into the Providence Village Independent Living in 2005. In 2010 Lornze passed away after a long illness. She met another widower, John Lynch, Jr., at Providence Village in 2012, and married on January 4, 2013. Sadly John passed away on May 20, 2016.

She was always a very caring person who gave of herself to help others. She and Lornze opened their home to many foster children. She helped take care of her father-in-law, her mother, her sister-in-law, and both of her husbands in their last days.

She is survived by her daughters, Mildred Ann Leuschner (Stanley) of Hewitt, TX; Rose Ellen Tucker (William, Jr.) of Robinson, TX: daughter-in-law, Shirley Ann Kluck of Mission, TX; grandchildren: Shelley Kluck, Kraig Kluck (Teri), Clifton Jenkins, Jr. (Monica), Christi Mann (Timothy), Lance Leuschner (Melissa), Laurie Hartsgrove (David Graves); great-grandchildren: Wayne Jenkins, Laken Barnett, Jordan Jenkins, Julia Jenkins, Joshua Jenkins, Elizabeth Leuschner, Faith Leuschner, Zachary Hartsgrove, Christopher Flores.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Lornze Kluck; her son, Otto Kluck, her second husband, John Lynch; her parents, Otto and Matilda Brinkmann; her three sisters, Louise Ondrej, Esther Alsup, and Helen Wilhite.
