her family and friends, while 
celebrating life’s milestones. 
She was a great listener and 
consoler of others in times 
of challenge. Lynne had a 
wide range of skills including 
hours of countless versions 
of “Heart and Soul” with her 
mother on the upright piano 
in Oak Park. She was loved 
and will be truly missed.
Lynne was a loving sister to 
Alan Bednowitz (Sandy) and 
David Bednowitz (Nancy); 
proud and adoring aunt to 
her nieces and nephews, 
Sarah, Dana, Jason and 
Adam. She had an amazingly 
close relationship with her 
Uncle Howard and Aunt 
Florrie as well as being a 
devoted mother to all her 
furry pets, including her 
current baby, Jetski. In 
addition, her lifelong close 
friends from across the 
country meant so much to 
her. 
She requested that there 
be no memorial service and 
wanted her ashes scattered 
over tropical waters, which 
the family will honor at 
a future date. The family 
requests those who wish to 
express sympathy consider 
making a donation to their 
favorite charity in Lynne’s 
name. In the meantime, and 
in celebration of her life, her 
warm smile and infectious 
laugh, raise a glass of wine 
and make a toast to the good 
times and memories shared 
with Lynne.
