Lynette graduated from Columbian High School in 1982 and was employed by Mercy Hospital of Tiffin for 40 years in various roles. She was a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist and was instrumental in developing the sleep lab in Tiffin in 1996. She served as coordinator of both the Tiffin and Willard Mercy sleep labs. Family and friends were the most important gifts to her and she loved spending as much time with them as possible. She loved to be outdoors, tending to her flowers and garden. She also enjoyed traveling, Ohio State football games, and caring for her beloved pets and wildlife. She cherished family movie and game nights and could be counted on to make everyone laugh with her competitive spirit and her over the top cackles. Most of all, her greatest joy was being "Gamma" to Olivia. Lynette was known for her kind and nurturing spirit and will be dearly missed by those who knew her.
