Lynda M Glissendorf

September 23, 1949 - February 12, 2022 Lynda Mae (Haynes) Glissendorf passed away after a long illness, on February 12, 2022, at the age of 72, in Newport, OR, surrounded with the love of family and friends. Lynn was born in Nampa, ID, the second child of Shirley Mae Allen and Leroy Schill. After that brief marriage, Lynn's mother remarried to Charles (Chuck) Delano Haynes Jr., when Lynn was just one, and he raised Lynn and her older brother, Rex, as his own. Raised in Boise, Idaho, they were eventually joined by six more brothers and sisters, and Lynn was a lifelong mother hen and guiding light to them all. No matter the challenge, Lynn's home and heart were always open, and she was never too busy with her own life to help her younger siblings successfully navigate the world. Lynn met Michael Young while attending the University of Idaho in Moscow, ID, and they married in McCall, Idaho, in 1971 where they welcomed their daughter, Alicia Ann Young. After their marriage ended, Lynn raised Alicia as a single mother in Boise and, briefly, Sacramento, CA, before moving to Newport, OR. There she met Daniel (Ruben) Glissendorf, a commercial fisherman, and they married in 1988, a union that lasted more than 35 years until her passing. Lynn, also known as "Lincoln" or "LaLoba," had a magical glow, and anyone who was lucky enough to be drawn into her family of friends basked in her love, kindness and generosity. Always quick with a funny story, or a shoulder to lean on, she became a popular bartender in Newport, and was well known for her beauty and creativity, with friends often stopping by just to see what she was wearing that night or how she had decorated the bar. At home, Lynn had a passion for gardening and often found tourists stopping by her yard to take pictures of her stunning flowers. She was also known for her beautiful poetry, and her much sought after artwork. Lynn's love for her immediate and extended family was enormous, but she especially adored her three grandchildren, as well as her nieces and nephews for whom she was the undisputed "favorite Aunt." Presents and cards from "Aunt Linky" were treasured, as she always found a way to turn something little into something special. Lynn was preceded in death by her grandparents, Bill and Goldie Allen of Caldwell, ID, and Charles and Norma Haynes of Hamilton MT; her parents, Shirley and Chuck Haynes; and her brothers, Kirk and Rex, all of Boise, ID. She is survived by her husband, Ruben Glissendorf of South Beach, OR; her daughter Alicia Young, of Boise, ID; grandchildren, Neeley Uberagua, of Boise, ID, Reece Uberagua of Fayetteville, NC, and Michael Young, of Boise, ID; siblings, Charles Delano (Del) Haynes, III, (wife Amy and daughter Kimberly) of Temeculah, CA, Lars Haynes (children Christopher, Courtney and Mallory), of Nampa, ID, Solveig Wood (daughters Stephanie and Samantha) of Caldwell, ID, Eric Haynes of Las Vegas, NV, and Sarah Peper (son Nick) of Eagle, ID. A celebration of life will be held on July 30, 2022, from 2pm to 5pm at the home of Sarah Peper, 121 West Stone Path Lane, Eagle, Idaho. A celebration of Lynn's life will be held in Newport at the Embarcadero in the Fireside Room, on September 24th from 3pm to 6pm.
