Lynda Jean Dunham of Palm Coast, Florida passed away on Thursday, February 18, 2021.  She was 64.  Lynda was born on December 29, 1956 in Lexington, Kentucky, the daughter of Wesley and Mary (Popham) Rutledge.

Lynda's primary focus in life was honoring God and staying present for her family. She attended several churches throughout the years but most recently called Parkview Church in Palm Coast home.  She regularly attended bible study, volunteered at any opportunity, and often made great friends out of the strangers she met randomly. Lynda dedicated herself throughout her life to changing the lives of others for the better. She is most remembered for her service at Florence Crittenton Alternative School, Fayette County Schools, the Shriner's Hospital, and Lexington Clinic. Every job she had was a chance for her to serve God through serving others. She constantly taught those around her about the powers of resilience and optimism, and was a true example of selflessness. When she wasn't working, she was sewing and spending time with her friends and family. As a woman who loved to make others feel good about themselves, it's no surprise she became an extremely enthusiastic Mary Kay representative; focusing on improving others' self-esteem, and helping them create self-care routines. She was a source of light, comfort, and warmth to all who knew her - she was and will remain a remarkable testament to living life to the fullest.

Lynda is survived by her husband, Robert Dunham; her five children Amanda Spritz, Shannan Terhune (Hunter Terhune), Tiffanie Marshall (Justin Hanks), Cara Dunham, and Jake Marshall; her five grandchildren and one great-grandchild; her five siblings and countless extended family.

Lynda was preceded in death by her parents Wesley and Mary (Popham) Rutledge, and nephew Nathan Coyle.
