Lori Haynes Lynch, age 61, went home to be with her Lord on Wednesday, February 21, 2024. She was a loving wife, mother, sister, and grandmother. Lori was a lifelong member of the Allison Gap First Church of God. She dedicated her life to serving others in her career as a nurse, working several years at Valley Health and Rehab and also at the Southwest Regional Jail.

Her legacy of love, compassion, and service will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents; her father, Dexter Haynes; brother, Bill Haynes; and brother-in-law, Rudy Anderson.
