Lynne led a remarkable life filled with her passions and accomplishments.

This was one of Lynne's biggest accomplishments and was never shy about having talks about, her AA family was just as strong as her blood family in the Utica area, she will miss you all. Lynne worked for OHM Boces for more than 20yrs, a job she loved
