Lynn Louise Van Wagner, age 39, of Dorr, died Friday, April 21.
Lynn was looking forward to starting school in 1989, but days after her 5th birthday, she had the beginning of a rapidly growing tumor. She went through numerous surgeries, treatments, and reconstructive surgeries until the age of 22.
Lynn was very artistic and enjoyed baking and decorating baked goods. She loved setting up parties and doing multiple crafts. She was very handy with tools and built her own little house with the help of her uncle, Mike Kloska, and her dad.
She is survived by her parents Don and Patricia Van Wagner; siblings Paul (Jackie) Van Wagner, Eric (Theresa) Van Wagner; niece, Madeline; nephews Justin, Leo; and many extended relatives, family, and friends.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents James and Theresa Van Wagner, Gerard and Louise Funk; and aunts and uncles.
