Lynn's greatest pride and joy was her family. She and James raised 3 wonderful children. She loved creating life long memories with her family. Some of their fondest memories were skiing in Colorado, floating the Guadalupe and Frio rivers, camping in Big Bend, fishing on Grapevine and Eagle Mountain Lake with an occasional trip to the coast and hiking up Enchanted Rock. Other favorite trips with extended family members were to Ruidoso, NM, Creede, CO, Pigeon Forge, TN, Canada and Lake Vallecito, CO.
Lynn loved to travel and explore new territory with her sister, Dana. Some of their fun filled adventures included excursions to Europe, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Hawaii. She also enjoyed entertaining friends at her house with a spirited game of bridge. Laughter could be heard blocks away.
Lynn was happiest spending time with her grandkids, nieces and nephews. She looked forward to their visits and time spent fishing in the creek, gathering rocks, playing in the goat pens, digging up grub worms and playing dominoes just to mention a few favorites. She was beloved by all those who knew her, and her legacy will live on forever.
