Lynne passed away peacefully at age 53 with family members by her side at Highland Hospital in Rochester, New York on September 20, 2023. Lynne is survived by her parents, Margaret Williams and Kenneth Kunkel; brother, Joesph Kunkel (Cathy); longtime companion, Frank Ioele; aunts, Carolyn Gersley (Dan) and Charlotte Albrecht; blended family, Laine Williams, Jenah Williams, Allison Ralston, Jenah Laine Ralston; and many cousins.
Lynne was an avid animal lover and, if it were in her power, she would rescue and give a home to every homeless or abused animal. When she wasn’t feeding or playing with one or all of her 5 cats, she could be found tending to her small garden of tomatoes, cucumbers and sunflowers. Lynne had a heart bigger than life itself. She would always help someone else if they needed it, no questions asked. The world will be a much smaller place without her in it. Lynne, you will always be loved and may you rest in peace.
Interment will be private at a later date.
