Lynette worked for Pine Insurance of Danbury, Iowa and moonlighted as a bartender at multiple establishments. She enjoyed bartending over the years with some of her favorites being Sparetime and Sally’s. After Pine Insurance she went to work for Siouxland Residential Services and retired in 2013. She loved spoiling her grandchildren, spending time with family, belting a tune into a salt shaker, sitting in her she shed, and when she was younger bowling on Monday night league.
