Throughout her life, Lynne was a beacon of compassion and kindness. Her love for the outdoors was evident in her passions for gardening, fishing, and tending to beautiful flowers. In her younger years, she immersed herself in equestrian activities, nurturing and caring for horses. Lynne found solace and joy in canoe trips to Canada, surrounded by the serene beauty of nature. Animals held a special place in Lynne’s heart. She adored her dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and horses, showering them with love and care. Lynne was not only a devoted wife and loving mother but also a caring grandma whose presence brought warmth and joy to those fortunate enough to know her. Her family meant everything to her, and she cherished every moment spent creating unforgettable memories with them. In addition to her roles within her family, Lynne shared a passion for ballroom dancing with her husband. Together, they glided across dance floors, a testament to the love that bound them together throughout the years. As we mourn the loss of Lynne Ann Boniphant Hicks, let us remember the light she brought into our lives. Her legacy of love, compassion, and unwavering kindness will continue to inspire all those who were fortunate enough to know her.
