She was born on August 27, 1965 in Wausau to Delbert and Maxine (Krampien) Ballerstein. She graduated from Stratford High School. Lynn worked as a dock manager at Yonkers for 25+ years and then as a PCW Caretaker.
Lynn was a woman of immense warmth, generosity, and creativity, whose life was deeply rooted in family, friendships, and the joy of giving. She had a passion for needlepointing, creating beautiful pieces with her hands, which often became cherished gifts for her loved ones. Her family was central to her life; she never missed an opportunity to attend her nieces’ and nephews’ events and activities, showing constant love and support. It was Lynn’s genuine care and involvement that brought her family together for gatherings, creating a close-knit bond among her siblings, nieces, and nephews.
An exceptional cook and baker, Lynn had a special talent for making meals that brought people together. Outside of her family, Lynn had many lifelong friendships, maintaining deep connections with those she cared about. Whether she was spending time with friends or family, her generous spirit was evident in her thoughtful gestures and giving nature.
Lynn also enjoyed games and puzzles, often playing Dominos, Books and Run, Scrabble, and various board games with friends and family. Jigsaw puzzles were another favorite pastime. Her hands were always busy making things for others, as she took great joy in creating and sharing her talents.
Lynn’s life was defined by her love for others, her creativity, and her selflessness. She will be remembered as someone who always gave from the heart, fostering connections and bringing joy to everyone fortunate enough to know her.
She is survived by her siblings, Delaine (Philip) Carlson of Marshfield, Sharon Kaiser of Marshfield, Del Ballerstein of Edgar, Debra (Gordy) Schmitt of Abbotsford, Dale (Jean) Ballerstein of Mayville, NY, Sandy (Randy) Reynolds of Milan, Lori (Alan) Schmitt of Colby, James Ballerstein of Marshfield and Mary Ballerstein of Appleton. She is further survived by several nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews.
She was preceded by her parents, Delbert and Maxine, and sister-in-law, Susan Ballerstein.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial will be designated at a later date.
