Her family always celebrated Christmas together in a small cape cod where each persons favorite variety of her homemade famously delicious Christmas cookies filled the garage because there was no room in the house.

She was a long -time member of First Bible Baptist Church involved in many ministries including Sunday school, choir, camp counsellor, missionary prayer groups, and nursery worker. She also taught sewing at Greece Continuing Education for several years. Her love of sewing and crafting led her to work for 12 years at JoAnn Fabrics where she loved to help customers plan their projects.

She shared her love of camping with all of her family who continue the camping tradition with their children.

An avid crafter, quilter and seamstress Lynette created many personalized items for her family over the years including pillowcases, pajama pants, quilts and wedding dresses.

Most of all she loved her family and sharing her faith in Jesus with others.

A celebration of her life will be held on Thursday, August 21 at 6 PM at First Bible Baptist Church, 990 Manitou Road, Hilton, NY 14468.
