She was born in Memphis, TN to the late William Guy and Hester Tennessee (Austin) Ball on March 16, 1934, and married Robert Lemke on September 2, 1954. The two made their home in Neenah, where they raised their family, and Lynn worked for the Neenah Joint School District, and retired from the Neenah Public Library.

Lynn will be missed by her husband of 65 years, Robert; her children: Darlyn Lippert; Donna Appel; Debra (Gerald) Kunde; and Duane (Dalia) Lemke; her grandchildren: Emily (Brian) Nast; Alexa (Kevin) Juzenas; Ross Lippert; Stephen (Heidi) Appel; Jarah (Alanna Muller) Kunde; Drew Lemke; and Megan Lemke; as well as by her great-grandchildren, Liam and Isaac.

Lynn was preceded in death by her siblings: Joyce Morris; Nila Ray Whittaker; Wanda Rose Williams; and Guy Cryll Ball; son-in-law, Robert Lippert; and by sister-in-law, Dorothy Ramich. She was also greeted in Heaven by her friends from the old Gail Avenue neighborhood: Don and Barb Wichman; Bud Wirsbinski; Pam Harpt; Bev and Larry Tessen; Sharon Kieliszewski; and John Konrad; and former co-workers: Bev Banczak, Helen Jenkins; and Lee Brezina; along with many other friends and family members. “The beautiful irony is that our loss is another's reunion.”
