| Published by Mohave Daily News Online on Oct. 15, 2021 - Lake Havasu City, Arizona - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lynne Marie Devine, age 68, a 38 year resident of Bullhead City, Arizona on Sunday, August 22, 2021. Lynne was born in Iowa on March 21, 1953 to Mary Ann and Clifford Harvey. In 1959, her parents and sisters moved to Westminster, California and began a life in Southern California. Lynne graduated from Bolsa Grande High School in 1972 where she met the love of her life, Rick Devine. The two married in 1972 and had two children, Jeremiah and Renee. Lynne and Rick moved to Bullhead City in 1982 for a fresh start. She began work as a travel agent and eventually became the secretary at Bullhead Primary School up on the hill. She worked there for many years and watched many youngsters in the community grow up. Upon leaving the school district, she worked side by side with her husband Rick at Advantage Roofing. She finished her career working at the local Avi golf course before she retired in 2013 and began to enjoy retirement life. Lynne was a strong, patient, and compassionate woman who loved her family and friends dearly. She loved her husband, children, grandchildren, music, the river, baseball, softball (or whatever sport her kids or grandkids were playing), and anything that would go fast. She adored the Burros, the Hallmark channel and the second love of her life, her dog, Toby. She would do anything for anyone at a drop of a hat. She loved cooking, reading, writing and being around family and friends. The door was always open at Lynne and Rick's, the wackier the better, whether it was a taco or spaghetti night, Thanksgiving or the Christmas Eve party, or just someone needing a place to lay their head for a night. Family, friend, or even foe, were always welcome (with a small lecture of course). For 40 years, they lived, loved, laughed and enjoyed every moment with their family and all the friends they had come to love over the years, many of whom they referred to as family as well. No matter what, thick or thin, Lynne was always right by Rick's side ready for any adventure he would take her on, and always there for any and all who needed it. She was one of life's treasured saints and she will be truly missed. Lynne has been reunited with her one true love. YoYoYo! She was preceded in death by her husband, Rick Devine; mother, and father, Cliff and Mary Ann Harvey; sister, Connie Harvey;, mother-in- law, Janet Devine; brothers-in-law; Terry Devine and Nick Cease; and sister in-law, Charlie Devine. She is survived by her daughter, Renee Nelson of Parker, Arizona; son, Jeremiah (Amy) Devine of Mohave Valley, Arizona; sisters, Theresa Castillo and Brenda (Art) Moncrief of Yorba Linda, California; brothers- in-law, Keith, Duke and Craig Devine; sisters-in-law, Karen Devine and Karen Cease of Southern California; six grandchildren, Miah, Camdyn, Joseph, Bailee, Justin, Avery; and a long list of nieces, nephews, cousins and life long friends. Services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 23, 2021 at Calvary Chapel, 1690 Newberry Dr, Bullhead City, AZ. A Celebration of Life to follow at the Los Lagos Golf Club, 6265 S. Entrada Via Verdes Dr., Fort Mohave, AZ 86426. Lynne loved the local burros and followed them closely. We ask that any gifts or donations be made in her name to: The Oatman Burro Rehab and Recovery Sanctuary 7908 Cardinal Drive, Mohave Valley, AZ 86440. |
