Lynnette was a 1996 graduate of Knoxville High School. She received her A.A.S. in Nursing at Carl Sandburg College and became a Registered Nurse. Lynnette began working for Genesis Health System in 2010 where she met many of her friends who quickly became her family. Prior to Genesis, Lynnette worked for OSF Holy Family in Monmouth, IL and Cottage Hospital in Galesburg, IL. Nursing is her passion found only second to her family. Lynnette is a natural born care giver and took pride in her nursing career. Her biggest pride and passion are her family. She loved spending time with her family and decorating for the holidays…especially Christmas. Lynnette’s smile, contagious cackle and sense of humor will be missed by those who loved her.
