Lynne Lenore Lewis, age 56, of Jackson, Mo., passed away Wednesday, November 27, 2024, at Mercy South Hospital in St. Louis, Mo.

Lynne was born July 4, 1968, in Sikeston, Mo., to Ray and Paula Lewis.  She grew up in East Prairie, Mo., and attended public schools where she developed many life-long friendships.  She was active in band, cheerleading, the majorette team and participated in numerous school plays.

Lynne was a member of Centenary Methodist Church in Cape Girardeau, Mo.

A top-ten graduate of her class in 1986, Lynne was accepted at Stephens College in Columbia, Mo., where she studied theatre arts, and ultimately she obtained her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Florida State university.

Upon completing her education, Lynne moved to Los Angeles, Calif., where she began a ten-year experience in acting and production assistance.  A member of the Screen Actors Guild, she landed roles in television and cinematic productions.  Lynne enjoyed her time in the entertainment world and had many amusing stories to share regarding her tenure in "La-La Land."

Lynne returned to Missouri where she again valued her friendships with old classmates along with new friends she would consistently make.  During this time she would meet Dr. Mark Hosler of Cape Girardeau, Mo., whom she would marry.

Lynne's best relationships were reserved for her family, where she was a loving daughter and sister whose unique outlook on life was always enjoyed.  Faith in God and prayer were most comforting and important to her.

Surviving relatives include her mother, Paula Lewis of Jackson, Mo.; two sisters, Karen (David) Voshage of Jackson, Mo., and Suzanne (David) Westhues of St. Louis, Mo., and one brother, Keith (Catherine) Lewis of Jackson, Mo.  She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews, each having fond memories of their "Aunt Lynne."
