Lynn Boushay

Lynn S. Boushay passed away peacefully, joining her husband who was patiently awaiting her in Heaven. She was the second child and only daughter of Ralph W. Sever and Virginia E. Sever, born in Wenatchee, WA. Lynn graduated from Wenatchee High School in1960. Following high school, she moved to Bellingham to attend WWU which took her away from her love, Jack. He drove to visit her every weekend but her concern for his frequent travels back and forth over the mountains prompted her to return to Wenatchee and transfer to WVC. Lynn and Jack were married in 1961. Looking for a big yard, they bought a house in Cashmere and moved their young family from Wenatchee in 1965. They settled in, created a welcoming home and garden, and lived on the same property until just recently. Lynn worked in the medical industry, starting at the Cashmere Clinic. There she made life-long community connections while her daughters were in school. She then worked for an oral surgeon in Wenatchee where both girls were lucky enough to reap the benefit of that time, by getting their wisdom teeth removed. She ended her career as an insurance specialist at Wenatchee Valley Clinic/Confluence Health where she worked for over 20 years, eventually retiring in 2012. Lynn and Jack had quite a few adventures together. In their younger years they socialized by playing cards, square dancing, and bowling. Later they discovered the joy of travel and invested in a time share, which they took full advantage of. They drove to their favorite destinations along the Washington and Oregon coasts and ventured to Hawaii, California, and Arizona a number of times. Family and friends would join them on occasion; she was always generous by gifting the trips to others or inviting them to come along. Lynn spent her free time before and after retirement doing her favorite hobbies including baking, gardening, and stamping. As the years progressed, stamping became her main hobby. Her home-made cards were enjoyed by all who were lucky enough to receive them! And the collection of stamping paraphernalia assembled rivaled the best stocked hobby shops. She was very social and would always find the time to meet a friend for coffee, join a group going out for lunch or simply connecting on the phone for a good conversation to catch up. Lynn loved being a grandmother to her only grandchild, Lila, who spent many hours after school at grandma and grandpa's house making cookies like snickerdoodles, playing games and keeping them young at heart. Lynn was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, and sister. She was faithful to her family and devoted to her church. She was known as a hard worker, good friend, and dedicated chocolate lover! Her family was not surprised to find M&Ms stashed in various drawers, purses, and pockets when it came time to downsize and move on. She took care of the important things at home, such as finances, bills and anything that required paper shuffling. She served her community by her active participation in the Methodist Church community dinners and in earlier years as a member of the League of Women Voters. Lynn is survived by her 2 daughters Lisa Boushay-Ownby (Ray Ownby) and Teresa Boushay, granddaughter Lila Boushay, as well as her 2 brothers Lowell (Susan) Sever, and Martin (Anne) Sever. A memorial service will be held at the Cashmere Methodist Church on November 20 @ 2:00. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in her name to the American Lung Association. Arrangements made by Chapel of the Valley, East Wenatchee. You are invited to view Lynn's online tribute at www.chapelofthevalleyncw.com where you can share a memory.
