Virginia "Lynnie" Lynn Ross

Virginia Lynn Ross, affectionately known as Lynnie to her friends and family, passed away on April 23, 2025, in Greenville, SC. Born on January 31, 1951, Lynnie's life was a tapestry of love, generosity, and dedication, woven through the years she shared with her loved ones and the community she cherished.

Lynnie's journey began as the beloved daughter of Neta and John Goheen, and she grew up alongside her caring brother Perry and her spirited sister Terry in Paducah, KY.

Lynnie's legacy is lovingly carried on by her children: Todd Wagner (Heather), Mitzi Jones, Stephen Austin (Meg), Jordan Joseph, Darrol Ross Jr. (Denise), Jeffery Ross, and Julie Juliano (Richard). She was a beacon of love and guidance for her children, instilling in them the values of kindness and generosity that she embodied.

Her grandchildren, EJ Wagner, JD Mayer, Josh Wagner, Nathan Mayer, Tyler Foucault, Christine Foucault, Conley Austin, Thomas Joseph, Leila Joseph, Morgan Ross, Hunter Ross, Madison Ross, Mackenzie Ross, Christopher Juliano, will remember their grandmother for her warm hugs, her infectious laughter, and the wisdom she imparted during their cherished moments together.

Professionally, Lynnie was a dedicated manager at Page-Austin Time, a Timex watch distributor in Paducah, KY. Her work ethic and kindness were admired by her colleagues, and the team operated as more of a family than a workgroup.

Lynnie's interests were as varied as they were passionate. She found joy in cooking and baking for her friends and family, hosting parties where all were welcome, and spending time in both scripture and her garden. In her earlier chapters, she enjoyed golfing in Western KY, fishing for striped bass off the coast of Martha's Vineyard, and adventurous road trips with beloved friends Billy, Lulu, Lee, and Shannon. Lynnie also found pleasure in the quiet moments spent reading, crocheting, and solving word puzzles.

Those who knew Lynnie would describe her as a loving and generous soul. Her kindness touched the lives of many, and her generosity knew no bounds. She had an uncanny ability to make everyone around her feel special and loved, and her presence was a source of comfort and joy. As we remember her, we celebrate the profound impact she had on each of us. Her spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.

We bid farewell to Lynnie, a remarkable woman whose life was a testament to the power of love and the beauty of a life well-lived. Her memory will be cherished and her legacy will continue to inspire us all.
