Lynn L. Pete, Old Town and Gray
January 8, 1951-August 25, 1999
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, so soft, so calm, yet eloquent. The smiles that win, the tints that glow. But tell of days in goodness spent. A mind at peace with all below, a heart whose love is innocent--George Gordon
Lynn lived her life with ebullience, each day filled with laughter, love and hope. Her smile radiated sunshine and warmth. Her spirit swept aside raindrops. Her caring embraced us all. Lynn was an advocate for meek voices - children bruised by torn families and muffled by disease. Most of all, Lynn was a loving wife, daughter and mother. We miss you already.
Lynn is fondly remembered by her family; husband and soul mate, Don Pete, who personified love and devotion; daughters, Stephanie Partridge, with husband, Derek, and Heather Carrow, with husband, Joey; mother, Avis Millett Wise; predeceased by father, Leon Libby; sister, Jackie Libby; brothers, David and Richard Rich, Barry, James, Ronald and Bobby Libby; stepdaughters, Lisa Sirois, with husband, Billy, and Michelle Baker, with husband, Randy; stepson, Kevin Pete; grandchildren, Nicole, Kristy, Adam, Nathan, Raychel, Drew; and her second soul mate, Lexie.
