Lynn Mize (née Buczyna)
Beloved wife of the late Lee Mize. Loving mother of Linda (Steve) Kelley and Jeff (Stacey) Mize. Proud grandmother of Alexis Mize, Mallory Mize, Stephen (Nicola) Kelley, Blake (Meaghan) Mize, Evelyn (Tripp) Conrad, Hannah Mize, and Loren (Renee) Kelley. Cherished great-grandmother of Cyrus, Abraham, Kelley, and Malcolm.

Dear daughter of the late Jacob and Aniela (née Duda) Buczyna. Loving sister of the late Irene (nee Dusik) Sheridan (Tom) and Laraine (nèe Buczyna) Novak (James Jr.) & Hansen (Arthur). Treasured aunt to many nieces and nephews she adored.

Lynn passed peacefully at home, surrounded by family, on 5 October at the age of 92.

Kind, compassionate, and full of heart, Lynn always put family first. She made holidays magical—delivering more Christmas gifts than Santa—and treated birthdays as a celebration for everyone, not just the guest of honor. No one ever left her home hungry, and her grandchildren could always count on a sweet treat or her undivided attention and helpful advice when called upon. Lynn was also an avid reader who found joy in a great novel. And she reveled in life's simple pleasures, from a lucky scratch-off to a fun day at the casino.

Lynn lived with warmth, humor, and love, and she will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
