Lynn Ellen Heiny, 64, a beloved member of our family, passed away peacefully at Court House Manor on April 9, 2025, surrounded by loved ones, after a long illness.
She is survived by her mother, Joy Heiny, sisters, Robyn Frazier and Jill Cipra (Dale); brother, Mark (Jenni) Heiny and numerous nieces and nephews.
Her father, Robert Heiny, preceded her in death in 2020.
Lynn spent much of her life working in the community in places like Fayette Progressive Industries, Our Place, and McDonald’s. She also helped maintain the I-71 rest area outside of town. Lynn loved being able to work and felt a sense of pride in her accomplishments.
She was a member of First Presbyterian Church, where she volunteered in a Sunday School class for many years. She also participated in Special Olympics, where her specialty was swimming. Lynn loved collecting DVD’s of her favorite movies and country music CD’s.
Family and friends have fond memories of her great sense of humor, which have been named “Lynn-isms”. She also had a very generous heart. Lynn loved to treat her family to their favorite seafood restaurant, The Sea Captain’s, during yearly Myrtle Beach vacations. We loved watching her look over the bill and give her final approval.
One of the greatest joys in Lynn’s life was her marriage in 2018. Family members traveled from out of town to celebrate her special day. It is a precious memory we will hold dear in our hearts.
Lynn spent much of her adult life in group homes, where she made friends and enjoyed some independence. Her final years were spent at Court House Manor, where she was cared for by many aides and nurses. Our family would like to thank everyone who lovingly took care of her throughout the years. Lynn was a sweet, special person who touched many lives. She will be greatly missed.
A celebration of Lynn’s life will be held at First Presbyterian Church at a later date.
