Lynette attended schools in Keyworth, near Nottingham, and in Bristol, England, Orem and Salt Lake City, UT, and was varsity cheerleader at Hillcrest High School during her 11th and 12th grades.

She was then called on a full-time Church Service Proselyting Mission for 18 months, and served under the direction of the President of the Florida Ft Lauderdale Mission.

The family also wishes to express gratitude to the many skilled and wonderful physicians, healthcare professionals and therapists, and Church members and friends who assisted and comforted her to the end of her mortal life.
