Misc. Notes
Marilyn S. Lynch, formerly a resident of Rochester and RHS graduate of 1963, passed away suddenly on Aug. 19, 2017 at the age of 72.
Marilyn, originally from Rochester, MI and was the daughter of Harry and Thelma VanConant. She married Gary Lynch in 1963 and continued to live in the quaint town where she grew up. After years of professionally cooking at such places as Rochester College (formerly MI Christian College), Lupuma's Coney Dogs, and others, she finally retired.
Ever the entrepreneur, she opened her own restaurant called of "Marilyn's Place" in Caro, MI. Leaving Michigan, she still couldn't rest, as she owned & managed "Little Mountain Mobile Home Park" in Etowah, NC, with her husband and, after that, "Yesterday's Treasures" in Hendersonville, NC. Marilyn had a very distinct personality and many experiences and her presence will be greatly missed.
They did take time to travel, and finally settling in Florida, where Marilyn finally found some rest. She is survived by her husband, Gary Lynch, her son, David Lynch, her daughter, Dawn Armstrong, as well as 4 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. She is also survived by her brothers, Ronald VanConant (FL), Dale VanConant (AZ), and her sister, Patricia Hicks (FL).
As of the time of this edit, the daughter of Gary & Marilyn Lynch has not yet buried them in their plots that they already owned in Christian Memorial Gardens. Their son has paid for the tombstones and had it installed as a memorial to them.
She was predeceased by both parents, and a son, Michael Lynch. Interment will be in Christian Memorial Cemetery, Rochester Hills, MI.
