Lynette Ann Copeland – 54 passed away after a lengthy illness.

Born September 23, 1967 in Humansville, Mo. Lynette was an amazing Wife, Daughter, Mother, Grandmother and friend. Lynette grew up in the Bolivar area and graduated from Bolivar High School with the Class of 1985. After graduation Lynette worked with disabled children and her love for caring for people started at this time. Lynette joined her mother in business and together they shared 35 plus years working side by side as they started and grew Classy Raggs in Bolivar, Mo. Lynette always had a dream to become a nurse and get back to caring for people as this was always her true passion. In December 2013 Lynette achieved that dream and graduated from the Cox Nursing Program with her RN degree. Lynette worked as an RN until 2020 when her health declined. Lynette was always the happiest when she was telling family and friends how she had helped someone she had encountered at the ICU or when she worked in the walk-in clinic.

Lynette enjoyed spending time with family and friends when she was not working. She loved traveling which included long and short trips with her Husband Larry. Larry and Lynette were married May 16 ^th , 1992 and they were able to share a wonderful 32 years together. Larry spent the last 4 years as a doting husband always making sure Lynette was taken care of and comfortable.

Lynette loved being a mother to her two beautiful children, Ryan and Kahlie. Lynette and Kahlie were always up for taking off and going on a shopping trip to Kansas City when they had the chance. Lynette was always there for Ryan for anything he needed. She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and spoiling them when she had the opportunity.

Lynette is survived by her husband, Larry Copeland; her children, Ryan Copeland, Bolivar and Kahlie Copeland, Bolivar; Mother, Donna Hartley and her partner, Wendall Fisher, Bolivar; Brother, Dennis Wilson, Bolivar; grandchildren, Erica and Emmanuel Copeland, Fair Play, Mo.; Cousin, Amy (Mimi) and Dan Hubbard, Bolivar; Aunt, Charlotte DeBauche, Bolivar; Uncle, Dennis and Donna Stewart, Bolivar.
