Mrs. Terri L. Lynch, 64, of  Winamac, was surrounded by her loving family when she passed away at 12:15 AM, December 29, 2018  at her home.

On May 22, 1954,  Terri was born in Rochester.  She was  the treasured daughter of  Ronald Eugene and Carol Mae Harris Hamman. Growing up, she shared her childhood with two brothers, Scott and Mike.  She graduated as valedictorian from Kewanna High School in 1972.

Terri and Edwin J. Lynch, Jr. were married on October 14, 1978 at Luke Air Force Base in Phoenix, AZ. Sharing forty years of life's adventures, their union produced five children and eight grandchildren.

As a military spouse, Terri enjoyed both living in and traveling to many different locations within the United States and Europe.  These experiences strengthened her bond with her family and helped foster her passion for cooking and baking. Her children and grandchildren looked forward to family celebrations, as much for her recipes and custom birthday cakes as for time spent with her family.

Since returning to the area in 1996, Terri spent her time managing EJ's Flooring, a small locally owned business in Winamac.  She was equally devoted to being there for her children and later her grandchildren, attending athletic and all school related events.

Paramount in her life was her loving family.  Left to cherish Terri's memory are her husband Ed; two daughters: Shannon Cook and husband Micah of Winamac,  Heather Grisel and husband Joell of Westfield; three sons: Kyle Lynch and wife Sue of Colorado Springs, CO, Eddie Lynch III of Winamac,  Sean Lynch  and fiancé Bryanna Hawley of Naperville, IL; eight grandchildren: Brayden, Kamryn, Rylan, Maddox, Avery, Sofia, Carter, Ava Mae; father, Ron Hamman of Kewanna; brother, Scott Hamman and wife Elena of Orlando, FL; and several nieces and nephews.

Preceding Terri in death are her mother and brother, Mike Hamman.
