Lynette was our spunky and beautiful princess. She was Netty to her family and Lynny to her many friends. Lynette brightened every room and could make anyone laugh. She was always the center of attention (which was just how she liked it). She spoke her mind and you never doubted where she was coming from. She was constantly taking care of others, people and animals alike. She displayed strength for people to see, but inside was the sweetest, kindest person with the biggest heart. She was a loyal friend, an artist, writer and chef. Lynette will be remembered for her vibrant, creative, joyous and generous spirit.

A memorial service and celebration of Lynette’s life was held at the Bellevue South LDS Stake Center on Sept. 20. Graveside services were held at Terrace Heights Memorial Park in Yakima on Sept. 21.
