High school sweethearts, Lynn and Sally, were raised in Newton and were proud graduates of the Newton High School class of 1951. On August 30, 1952, they were married in the former Evangelical United Brethren Church. Their love for each other spanned more than 69 years.

Lynn and Sally spent five years in Manhattan, where Lynn attended Kansas State University, earning a bachelor of architecture degree. After serving on assignment in the U.S. Army, they moved to Fort Collins, Colorado in 1960, where Lynn worked in facilities management at Colorado State University. He retired in 1991 and began his own consulting business. He also retired from the U.S. Army Reserve in 1991 as a colonel. After their children were in school, Sally attended and graduated from the Aims/Poudre R-1 School of Practical Nursing in 1972. She was employed at the Fort Collins Women?s Clinic for 23 years.

They were charter members of Christ United Methodist Church, in Fort Collins, and remained active until they were no longer able to. Lynn designed the current church building and subsequent addition. The church played an important role in their lives and they served it well in many capacities throughout the years.

You rarely found one without the other. They were a complementary team in all their endeavors and enjoyed gardening, traveling, camping, genealogy, sports, serving in their community, and volunteering at the Colorado Welcome Center. Friendships they made along their life journey continued with them throughout their lives. They were very courageous in their respective struggles with Alzheimer?s disease.

Family was of upmost importance to Lynn and Sally. They were devoted parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents providing a happy home and solid upbringing. They delighted in spending time with their immediate and extended family and that was especially meaningful to them.
