She was a homemaker, farmer, wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. At different times, she worked for the Bruce Post Office, Chippewa Valley Bank and as a substitute custodian at the Bruce Public Schools.

Lynne and George traveled quite a bit in their younger years, enjoying especially the Smoky Mountains, Ozarks, and Arizona.
