Lynn Straub Winkel, age 75, of Franklin passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 12, 2024 after an extended illness.

Always “dressed to the nines” and outgoing, Lynn made lifelong friends wherever she went, including many of them in her travels around the world. She was a “shopper extraordinaire” and had an exuberance for life. To know Lynn was to love her. Lynn is survived by her siblings Kathy Roberts (Larry) of Lexington, Ky.; Sandy Zortman (Gary) of Cookeville, Tn.; Bob Winkel (Shannon) of Memphis, Tn.; and Rick Winkel (Kara) of Franklin, Tn. She is also survived by seven nieces and nephews whom she held dear. A private family service will be held at a later date.
