Send Condolences

Lynnette Ream Pletch, 77, of Frankfort, Indiana, peacefully went home to be with the Lord on Friday, January 27, 2017, at Blake Medical Center in Bradenton, Florida.

Lynnette was born August 29, 1939, in Colfax, Indiana, to the late Vernon ‘Pete’ and Elizabeth ‘Betty’ (Campbell) Ream.  She married the love of her life, Fred Lynn Pletch, on February 14, 1960, in Colfax, Indiana, and he survives.

Lynnette graduated from Colfax High School in 1957, where she was a majorette alongside her twin sister Annette Ream Moore.

Lynnette was a homemaker and had worked at Conkright Sporting Goods. She had been a stay at home mother while her three children were young. Lynnette was elected to the Office of Clinton County Surveyor for three terms and retired in 2002. She was a member of the Antioch Church where she enjoyed blocking the exits with her wheelchair so she could spend more time visiting after church. Lynnette was a member and past president of Psi Iota Xi sorority. She also enjoyed attending the events and activities of her children and grandchildren and was always supportive of them in their endeavors. Lynnette was a loving woman with a heart of gold, an eye for mischief and a sense of humor. She was a friend to all, and her infectious smile and laughter will be missed.

Lynnette was an avid quilter and enjoyed sharing her creations with others. She enjoyed spending time with her family and their dogs. She was always happy when Zoey, Bentley, Liberty, and Lua were around.

Lynnette leaves behind a legacy of love and joy, often commenting that she was the most blessed woman in the world for having the family and friends that surrounded her.  Those of us that knew her know that we are the ones who are blessed for having had her in our lives.

    Love this woman!! God brings people into your life for a reason I believe that she came into mine to teach me strength. Because no matter what she was going through with her health she was always concerned about you and yours. I will truly miss her fun silly ways. We always had a good laugh during her hair appointments.

    Just a note to say that my prayers go out to your family at this very sad time. Lynnette and Annette were part of our twin group from Colfax days. My identical sister and me were friends during our time of growing up in Colfax. We were part of a unique situation of being twins in a small town and enjoyed that acknowledgement. Lynnette was always so caring and friendly when we met and always asked about my twin and her health. She will be missed by many.

      Tears come first, because we are human, smiles come next, because we love the person who has just left us, Memories are God’s gift to us till we meet once again. My memories have come to mind now for me, it’s a great gift Lynnette and Annette have been given, when ever you would see either one of them… then it would end up in a great story and much laughter, not everyone has that gift. Thank you for passing through my life, love to all of you at this time, I’ve been blessed because you have.

    My sincere condolences to Lynnette’s family. She was a special lady who will be missed by many. I’ve knew Lynnette and Annette my whole life from Colfax. Lynnette always had a smile on her face and no matter where we would “run” into each other she always had time to talk.

    My heartfelt condolences to the Fred Pletch family and twin sister, Annette (Bob) Moore on the passing of Lynnette. She was a sweet, sincere, well-respected classmate and friend to all of us. I have many fond memories of her and twin sister, Annette, leading the Colfax Band as Majorettes at many high school athletic and community events. She will be missed by family, many friends and former classmates!

    Lynnette was such a special lady and a wonderful sorority sister. She was a lot of fun at our fall luncheon this past October at Stookeys. I will never forget how courageous she has been through her illness. Also she always had such a beautiful smile and helped others to enjoy life with so many cute stories. My sympathy to her entire family.

    So sorry that we were not able to come and be with your family in the passing of Lynnette. We always enjoyed visiting with her and talking about our memories of Colfax. I remember when she and Annette were majorettes for CHS which was quite a special talent to share with her twin and her hometown. A prayer for strength and peace for her wonderful family. God Bless all.

    Prayers and thoughts are with you and your family, Fred, as well as Annette. It was a pleasure and honor to work with Lynette at the courthouse some years ago. She was extremely proficient and caring, but it was her warm mischievous smile and great attitude that I particularly appreciated. Together, Annette and Lynette provided team-mischief.

    I was sorry to learn of Lynette’s recent death. Amy was a student office worker when I first started working at CPHS; and Julie drew up a family tree chart when my nephew married into the Pletch family. I have good memories of both girls (sorry, Scott, don’t remember you working in the office!). Lynette and Annette were always so friendly and cheerful at the various CP events. I felt even closer to them when we learned we were very distant cousins. Everyone who knew this nice lady was very lucky…..and I thank her for the good memories.
