Lynne A. Edens, 62, of Barrington, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family at home on July 12, 2021. She was born on November 16, 1958 in Moultrie, GA to Darwin and Isabelle (nee Popielarz) Edens.

Lynne was a graduate of University of Evansville in Indiana and received her Master’s in Education from Northern Illinois University.
