Lynell loved the Lord. She viewed God as being sovereign, faithful, wise, and good, even when she could not fathom His plan or purpose. In her steadfast journey, she demonstrated what it meant to simply “trust and obey”. Day after day, year after year, she walked faithfully in the pathway of trust and obedience. Lynell devoted much of her life to volunteering to the Prison Ministry, AA, and Celebrate Recovery. She made lasting impacts on the inmates and shared compassion behind prison walls. She also loved singing for the Lord.
