Jacque (Gilbert) Lynn
May 29, 1927 — April 16, 2013
Jacque Gilbert Lynn, 85, of Pine Knoll Shores died Tuesday, April 16th 2013 in Morehead City, North Carolina.
Funeral Services will be held 11:00 am Saturday at Church of Christ on Barbour Rd. in Morehead City.
Interment will be later this year at Arlington National Cemetery.
Jacque was born in Schochoh, Kentucky, the youngest daughter of LJ and Ellalee Gilbert on May 29th, 1927. Her early years were mostly in Nashville, and she spent summers in Portland, TN with her Grandmother, Emma Staggs. She attended East Nashville High School where she was a cheerleader, but more importantly where she met her lifelong sweetheart, Clyde Lynn. On St. Patricks’ Day in 1946 they were married and she became a 36 year Army wife.
After considerable travel to Army locations throughout the US, Europe, and the Far East, and the birth of their two children, Gilbert and Gary, she and Clyde retired in Pine Knoll Shores in 1983.
Clyde and Jacque are both members of the Morehead City Church of Christ. Jacque’s father had been an Elder in the church, and Clyde’s father a preacher, back in Tennessee and the union of Jacque and Clyde produced a strong, loving and lasting relationship.
Jacque is preceded in death by her parents and sisters. There are however seven nieces and nephews, and their families that are descendants of her sister Helen Bowers, these three generations all are in Nashville, TN.
She is survived by her husband Clyde and had just celebrated their 67 years together with their entire family. She is also survived by her two sons, Clyde G. Lynn and wife Melanie of Grifton, NC and Gary Jackson Lynn and wife Alma of Virginia Beach, VA. There are her five Grandchildren; Keegan Lynn, Meredith Perry, Marguax Watson all of Wilmington, and Tyler Lynn, Samantha Jacque Lynn of Virginia Beach. Finally there are her four Great Grandchildren; Ella Perry, Ridge Watson, Jacquelynn Tess Watson and Sydney Lynn.
Jacque was involved with the communities she lived in all over the world. Here in North Carolina, she was a volunteer well into her 70’s. She was a great cook, fantastic communicator, and gracious to everyone, which brought her praise and success in every venue.
Finally, Jacque was also an accomplished artist and began painting as a hobby while stationed at Fort Campbell, KY in 1958. After winning several amateur awards, she began to paint seriously while living on Okinawa. There, she even ran a small group class showing other army wives how she had taught herself to paint. One of her favorite paintings, which have been done in various sizes, but typically as a 5 x 7, is of a morning sky looking east from Arlington of the Washington, DC skyline. This view of the Washington Monument and the US Capital has been Jacque’s most popular, particularly among the senior officers and diplomats, which had been stationed there. Originals all, as no two are just alike. This painting can be found around the world where they were sent as gifts to her friends or purchased by delighted buyers.
Jacque meant so much too so many people and we will all miss her greatly.
