Lynette was the baby in the family by 8 years and was the apple of her Daddy’s eye. She grew up in Rhinebeck, NY and graduated from Rhinebeck Central High School class of 1959. She went to Secretarial school. After raising three children, she began her career as an Executive Assistant until her retirement in 1998. She and her husband Floyd Powell then moved to Boynton Beach Florida to their “Leisureville” community. She was very involved in her community serving both in ushering at her church and outside as a caring neighbors representative for many years helping and serving others wherever she saw a need. She was an all around good & loving person, liked to organize, solve problems and was generous with her time. She had a GREAT sense of humor! She was a golf champ, liked to bowl with friends, loved cats, playing mahjong, hand and foot & many other card games with her women friends. She loved the tight knit neighbors that she had. She never met a stranger that she didn’t like or wouldn’t help. We would all do well to be more like Lynette.
