Lynne Croft Lynn passed away peacefully on October 14, 2019, after a courageous struggle with the debilitating effects from a series of strokes. She was a remarkably gifted and capable woman whose faith, hope, and charity blessed the lives of so many. Lynne was born on October 26, 1939, in Lovell, Wyoming, to Dr. Thomas Brown and Elna Dalley Jones Croft. As a child and young woman she was involved in everything––music, dance, theater, cheer-leading, and athletics—at school, at church, and in the community. Lynne graduated as Valedictorian of her Lovell High School Class of 1957. She studied at Brigham Young University for two years before marrying Barton David Lynn for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple on November 20, 1959. As the wife of a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, Lynne created homes in Minnesota, Alaska, Missouri, California, Texas, Iceland, Utah, and Virginia before Bart retired from military service in 1976 and the family settled in Orem. Lynne's impressive homemaking talents helped her establish a reassuringly stable, orderly, and loving environment for her children wherever they moved. She approached every military assignment as an exciting adventure and always made the most of opportunities to meet new people, enjoy new experiences, and serve in new ways. Lynne faithfully served in a variety of stake, ward, and branch capacities in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She used her organizational abilities and love for others to magnify every assignment and was always anxiously engaged in ministering to those in need. Music was a constant in her life and in her home. Her talents as a vocalist, pianist, organist, and chorister lifted and blessed her family and others. She especially loved the hymns of the Restoration. Lynne's service as a member of the Tabernacle Choir from 1988 to 2000 brought her great joy, and she toured with the choir around the world. Lynne was also a devoted member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers and served as a volunteer in countless civic capacities over the years. Lynne was blessed with a natural curiosity and a genuine interest in others. Family and friends always felt welcome and befitted from her compassionate concern. She was an unparalleled shopper and had a flair for creating a beautiful home and wardrobe. She also created meaningful traditions with her family, including singing around the piano and making classic Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas waffle breakfasts. Together, Lynne and Bart have been consummate examples of Christ-like service for their descendants and all those who knew them. Lynne was the loving mother of six children: Kimball (Pamela) of Cypress, Texas; Lisa (Robert) Hess of Bountiful, Utah; Shawn of Provo, Utah; Amy (Samuel) Andrus of Provo and Seattle, Washington; Jennifer of Orem, Utah; and Christopher (Maria) of West Valley City, Utah. She is survived by her husband, Bart, and by her six children, two daughters-in-law, two sons-in-law, twenty grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sisters Mary Kocherhans and Carol Nelson––both of Orem; by brother Richard Croft, D.D.S., of Scottsdale, Arizona; and by brother-in-law Dennis Lynn of Washington, Utah. She was preceded in death by her parents; parents-in-law, Ervin and Clea Lynn; sisters Jean Anderson and Helen Peters; sisters-in-law Marjorie Glenn and Myrtle Lynn; and brothers-in-law Dr. James Anderson, Avery Glenn, J. Rex Kocherhans, Bob Lynn, Dr. Manfred Nelson, and August "Pete" Peters. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, October 26, 2019, at the Orchard First Ward building, 670 East 800 North, Orem. A viewing will take place from 9:00 to 10:30am at the church prior to services. Interment in the Orem City Cemetery.
