Her concern,care and love always was right there for us all to see,a heart of pure gold. She was a person who woke everyday living faith,and family. Her husband,Lauren and Taylor,were her whole world. She will be missed by many,but by none as much as the three of them. You have been blessed to have lived your lives with her. I’m sure she is beside you even now. Watch closely,she will send you signs. . My sympathies to you all.

I’ve never forgotten her dedication to us and my family back 17 yrs ago. She helped us through some very difficult times after my daughters head injury. She was an awesome support person that knew the system and the laws and had compassion. I’ve thought of her many times during the passing years. Good Job Lynn, thank you for all you did for others.

To the Niehues family. My heart is broken following the loss of Lynn. I’ve known her for 20+ years, what a wonderful sense of humor, what a wonderful and caring person she was.

Lynn was one of the nicest, most positive people I’ve ever known. There were no roadblocks with Lynn, just opportunities to find another way, especially when she was helping others. My hope for Lynn’s loved ones is that it’s not long before smiles return with memories of her.
I grew up with Lynn, Mark and Billy in Grand Ridge, IL and our dad’s worked together at Walter Seed Company. As I sit and read her obituary, I wish I would have known Lynn as an adult. I think we would have had some great conversations. What a blessing she was to so many during her life.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
