Lynette L. Smith's Obituary
Lynette L. Smith, age 62, of Ocean View, DE passed away on Wednesday, December 17, 2014 at her daughter’s residence in Milton, DE. She was born on October 17, 1952 in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, daughter of the late Stanley G. and Eleanor L. (Dolbear) Cox.
Lynette enjoyed a 28 year career with J.P. Morgan in Wilmington, DE as a Human Resource Specialist. She was a devoted member of the Basket Brigade of Delaware, a program inspired by Anthony Robbins, which strives to help those in need in Delaware, ensuring they have food for Thanksgiving. Lynette had a heart for volunteering, participating in a number of mentoring programs in Wilmington. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Lynette again recognized a need for others and gave the gift of her time to assist those whose lives were left in turmoil.
In 2011 Lynette relocated to Sussex County where she could spend time with her two greatest loves, her daughter Connie and the water. Lynette was an avid reader who joined local book clubs and also enjoyed creating her own signature cards for friends and family. She was a faithful member of Crossroads Community Church in Georgetown, DE.
Lynette is survived by her daughter, Connie L. Willey and her husband Michael of Milton, DE, two sisters, Ann Michaels and Louella Telzer and numerous nieces, nephews, friends and extended family.
