Lynne spent most of her years working as a typesetter for the Eagle Grove Eagle, retiring in 2005 due to health issues. After suffering kidney failure and nearly 8 years of dialysis, she was blessed by her niece with a new kidney. She spent the rest of her years serving her community and enjoying her many grandkids.
