Lynette grew up in Garden Grove, California with a sister and 3 brothers. She loved them dearly and was a second mother to them. At the age of 14 her family moved to Payson, Utah where she attended Payson High School. Lynette was an honor student who loved learning and enjoyed being a cheerleader. She married Jim R.

She married JaLynn Steele (later divorced) they built a beautiful home in Santaquin, Utah where she resided until the time of her passing.
She devoted herself to family. Her most cherished role was of mother, grandmother, and homemaker. Her grandchildren were the highlight of her life. She never missed a ball game, dance recital or an opportunity to support them in their interests. We will miss her cinnamon rolls, Christmas breakfast casserole, famous potato salad, Sunday dinners, and many family traditions. She was meticulous with the care of her home, yard, and her personal appearance. She never left the house without her hair done, lipstick on, and high heels.
