Lynn Churchill Peppeard, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully at the age of 83, surrounded by family, on August 22, 2024. Born on October 16, 1940, in Amarillo, Texas, Lynn was a vibrant and cherished presence in the lives of those who knew her. She lost her battle with ovarian cancer much too soon. She will be missed immensely.

Lynn loved to sing and play piano from an early age and was a member of a trio, which sang songs like those performed by the Andrews Sisters. She performed all through high school and into college, where she studied music as her major. She continued to sing throughout her entire life and had even recently joined the choir at her church. We are certain that she’s still singing in heaven.

Lynn married William Allan Peppeard on November 24, 1961, and began to build her family. Her life was marked by her deep love for family and her dedication to her community. She spent many years nurturing those around her with kindness and compassion.

Lynn enjoyed a rewarding career, which spanned over 20 years, working as a sub-contractor to NASA, supporting the Space Shuttle Program in various capacities. Upon retirement, she moved to the Windsor Lakes Community located in The Woodlands/ Conroe area and met many new friends. She joined in the community activities, parties and games. She always looked forward to the gatherings and celebrations. She loved to travel and took several wonderful trips throughout her lifetime. One of her last trips was a recent cruise with friends from her community to Mexico.
