Marlene Wagner Lynn, 82, passed away peacefully on July 11, 2016, in Anchorage, Alaska. She was born on Feb. 8, 1934, to Edith Gertrude Gibbs and Kenith Orville Wagner. She was raised in the small town of Dexter, Mo., and always had fond memories of her hometown. She met her husband of 64 years, Robert S. "Bob" Lynn Sr., on a blind date. They married on Aug. 30, 1953. Marlene led the difficult life of an Air Force wife. She followed her husband around the world, caring for their six children during his military career. When the children grew older, she took a food service position with the Moreno Valley School district in California, where she and her husband lived for 21 years before moving to Alaska in 1995.
