Lynn graduated from Kellogg High School and later went on to become a miner at the ColoWyo mine in Colorado. Many in Craig, Colo., also knew her as a bus driver. She later retired back to Kellogg, Idaho, where she took pride in living in her granny's house, which she put a lot of love and care into. Lynn enjoyed spending time outside. Her favorite flower was the bloom on a lilac bush. She spent many summers in Craig, Colo., at the lake and floating the river as well as time at the river in Idaho with family and friends. She had lots of friends she kept in touch with over the years, including her best friend, JoJo Gates. Lynn’s pride and joys were her two sons, Kyle and Kevin, and her grandchildren.
