Wynn was a member of North Clinton Church, Wauseon OH. She was best known for loving all things family and staying in touch with all in her family. She was quite skilled in reupholstering furniture, sewing quilts, and baking tasty pies. She, along with Paul, lived a quiet lifestyle and enjoyed family gatherings, workdays, church activities, being outdoors in warm weather, people watching, and Sunday rest with a good football game on the television.
She loved having horses for many years and all of the many pets she and Paul had. She worked at Wagner Manufacturing while living in Plymouth IN. After moving with Paul to Archbold OH in 1975 she became a domestic engineer and spent numerous volunteer hours delivering Meals on Wheels, working at Care and Share, and taking loads of produce to soup kitchens in Toledo. She and Paul often made trips to see their children and grandchildren.
Her greatest joy though was watching and helping her children and grandchildren come to Christ!
