DEATH NOTICE: Lynette Rae Polzin, 58

Lynette Rae (Ayotte) Polzin was welcomed into the arms of Jesus on July 17, 2013. The Heavens are resounding with sounds of praise. She is standing in the presence of god our Father. “Welcome Home I love you! Well done, good and faithful servant!”

There will be a visitation at the Bierman Funeral Home on Friday, July 19th from 3-7:00 pm. The Funeral Service will be held at Emmaus Baptist Church on Saturday, July 20th at 11:00 am with visitation 1 hour prior to Services.

Lynette was born October 22, 1954 in Willmar, MN to Gaylon and Marlys (Wickstrand) Ayotte. Her family moved to Northfield in 1958 and Lynette graduated from Northfield High School in 1973. Lynette’s first job was at the Quarterback Club where she met her future husband, Gary Polzin. They were married February 23, 1974 and during their 39 years of marriage they were blessed with 3 children and 6 grandchildren.

Lynette’s greatest joy was serving where she felt God called her. Whether it be teaching Sunday school, ladies bible studies, children’s ministries of hosting people in her home. Her life was about giving to those around her, as she felt God leading her.

Some of the things Lynette loved to do were gardening, stitching, quilting, baking and reading. She also loved going on adventures on the motorcycle with Gary. Family was Lynette’s top priority after her relationship with the Lord; she loved hosting holidays and special events. Friends were always welcomed as family. Because Christmas was her favorite time of the year, memorials are preferred to Samaritans Purse, Operation Christmas Child.

Lynette Polzin is survived by her husband Gary; son Jason (Christy) Polzin of New Market; daughters Jessica (Chris) Miller of Northfield, Kelly (Bill) Radtke of Northfield; mother Marlys Ayotte of Northfield; mother-in-law Elaine Polzin of Springfield; brother Danny (Lea Ann) Ayotte of Northfield; sisters Renae (Reverend Daryl) Jacobson of Verndale, Cheryl (Keith) Johnson of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada, and grandchildren Noah, Sam, and Ava Miller, Laney, Brett, and Isabelle Radtke.
