Lynne Ann

(Boden) Turnbull

"I have fought the good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7

Lynne Ann (Boden) Turnbull of Chippewa Township - wife, mother and sister extraordinaire, singer, writer, decorator who loved to create, avid bicyclist and cancer warrior – went home to heaven November 10th with her family at her side.

She was born June 14, 1960, in Rochester, the beloved daughter of the late Claire Sallade Boden and Robert Boden and stepdaughter to the late Stanley Boden Jr. She and her husband Paul Turnbull, the love of her life, recently celebrated 34 happy years of marriage.

In addition to her cherished husband, Lynne was the devoted and loving mother to her three children, Hillary Parker (Joe) McCormick, Rory Parker and Jesse Turnbull. Lynne’s most precious times and memories were when gathered with her children and husband. Nothing compared to the happiness her family brought her. She was so proud of her daughter and sons and the adults they had become. She knew she was indeed blessed.

Lynne also is survived by her treasured siblings Debbie (Rick) Pentz, Susan (Scott) Zeimetz and Bob (Denise) Boden and her special nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews who adored “Aunt Lynne”.

Lynne was a 1978 graduate of Center Area High School, received an associate degree as a paralegal from Duff’s Business Institute, and attended Penn State. She worked as a catalog/web copywriter and in customer service for A Cook’s Wares, Beaver Falls, where she loved her job and the friends she made there, for nearly 16 years. She also worked as a proofreader at Dicks Sporting Goods, Moon Township. She excelled at her work.

Lynne was born with a burning passion and talent for music and the arts, but her unique singing voice was a special gift that could elicit tears of joy. She sang in church, choirs and, at one time, in a band with her husband, a memory she delighted in.

Lynne loved Jesus and became a Christian many years ago. She attended and loved the Chippewa Alliance Church. Her faith was her life’s foundation.

Arrangements are being made through Gabauer-Todd Funeral Home, Beaver, PA 15009. Visitation will be Friday, November 13th from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. A funeral service will be conducted Saturday, Nov.14, with visitation from 10-11 a.m. and the service beginning at 11 a.m. with Rev.
