Whether tending her plants, preparing a meal, or caring for a loved one, Lynda's generous spirit and servant's heart shone through in all she did. Her lifelong commitment to helping others was evident both in her nursing career and in her daily life.

Our families have known each other since mid 50s living on Coral Court in Madison. Lynda was my oldest friend. When we moved to Poynette we were neighbors with her Aunt and Uncle and kept in touch and visited often. For the last several years we have kept in touch thru Facebook. We had a shared love of horses and animals in general. I'm so sad to hear of her passing.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. Lynda touched so many lives in our graduating class of 1971 at Madison LaFollette High School and we will never forget her. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

WhenI went to my 55th class reunion from Lafollette high school on 8 -29-26. I found out that Lynda had passed away. She was in our class of 1971. I remember her as a warm and loving person and she was a very good classmate of mine. I am not sure how she passed but I hope she was not in any pain. May she rest in peace.
