Obituary

Loving and devoted wife of Donald Gratter. Mother of Jeniffer Synan (Gatter). Grandmother of Samantha and Sarah Synan. Predeceased by parents Robert and MaryJane Brown (Bell), Brothers Ray Brown, Rege Brown and Bob Brown and sister Mary "LuLu" Martin (Brown).

Lynne was a beantiful soul that gave all of her love to her husband Don of 54 years. She loved family above all else. A graduate of St. Francis Medical Center School of Nursing (1972); continued working even after her retirement, until her death. Her work ethic surpassed us all. Lynne enjoyed Holidays with family and friends, crocheting and was an avid reader of many novelists, especially mysteries. Lynne loved spending time with Donnie and friends at their camp site at Moraine State Park. All she wanted was to "go to camp" and relax, enjoying the quiet peace she found there. She loved spending time with her granddaughters Sammie and Sarah. She loved dining out with her husband Don, brothers and sisters, and all her family members. Her favorite time of the year was "March Madness", spent watching the entire tournament with Don. She always said "Don't call during this time" she was watching the games.

Lynne is survived by her sisters Muffin Peluso (Brown) and Lisa Brown Rohr (David), her Brothers Ron Brown (Raiza) and Rick Brown (Laura), and many loving and caring nieces, nephews, friends, and coworkers.

Lynne will be missed by us all. May she find peace with God and all of her family waiting for her with open arms.
