My condolences to Lynda’s family. I din not know her personally but met her at Hope Children’s and know of her great generosity to Hope. Hope has benefited from her and Roy and will always be a part of that family in spirit. A great person.

To the Speer Family,

Like so many other individuals and organizations, the Museum Of The Bible in Washington DC was deeply blessed by Lynnda. It was always a joy to see her with members of her church, including her Pastor visiting here. Her love for God‘s word was obvious and all that she did and her legacy well continue to bless others in the days ahead.

All of us at The Florida Orchestra will dearly miss Lynnda.  Cindy, Annabella and I developed a true friendship with her, and I was deeply shocked to learn of her passing when I called today to see if she was attending this weekend’s concert.  
I learned so much spending time with Lynnda, ‘cussing and discussing’ spiritual topics, music, life, politics and her favourite topic - her family.   I loved our personal friendship, and am so sad to hear she has left, although I know she is happy to be with Our Lord.
My sincere condolences to Richard, Lisa and all the family.   Your mother was a wonderful woman.  I will miss her greatly.  (I wish I could have paid my respects in person, but sadly I found out too late).  
Michael Francis, Music Director, The Florida Orchestra

Lynnda was so very kind; she sent my mom flowers every single year for her birthday, even after we moved away and my mom could no longer attend church. Flowers would show up, and she would get so happy, and she would say, those are from sweet Lynnda. Mom would always talk about the picnics she used to go to at her house. She loved spending time with her. God bless you and your family during this very difficult time. May the Lord always lead you.

I first met Lynnda when I interviewed for the job of Controller with Green Key Books.  Little did I know that it would lead to a lifelong friendship with a person who would greatly touch my life and the lives of my family.

Lynnda remained a close friend even after the closing of Green Key Books and my moving on to other careers.  The photo is from one of the last times my current wife and I were in Florida (from Texas) to visit my children and grandchildren.

She inspired me, taught me, prayed for and with me, and became one of my closest and most loved friends.

I will cherish my memories of her forever.

It was with great sadness and loss when I learned of Mrs Speers passing. She was very kind  and  treated me compassionately when I came to her to support or Rotary International Club of Seven Springs. She jumped in and was very supportive and appreciated the local focus of our efforts. 
She will be greatly missed.

What a great loss.  Lynnda was a special, loving and caring person.   I never saw her without a smile on her face.  She will be missed.  She was a great woman of God.

When Lynnda was a young Bible teacher, she met my mother, Ruth Munce.  They met together often and Ruth helped Lynnda develope the skills she needed.  This started a friendship that lasted over forty years.
Later, my wife Marti and I met Lynnda and we became good friends.  
Our hearts go out to her family.
Bob and Marti Munce

Lynnda was and remains a remarkable person. Remains being meaningful in that there is no doubt as to her current residence. Eternal in nature. Well earned. The destination that results from her journey. From her kindness, faith, generosity,dedication. From the spark she brought to a room. From the love she shared with her children and grandchildren . From the attitude of gratitude she continually expressed. From her heart. Our personal relationship was based on one other word. Friend. That’s  the word we used with one another when we got together. Not frequently. About 3 to 4 times a year for the last several years.Usually over dinner. Usually solving the world’ s problems. Always sharing stories and laughter. Most of all, will miss the laughter. She’ll be remembered. She’s already missed.

Lisa, Richard and Family our prayers are with you.  I was lucky to know your mom for many years.  She was an example for all of us.  Her strength and grace influenced everyone she had contact with.
John & Sue Thomas

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Lynnda will be remembered for the love and kindness she shared with those around her. May cherished memories bring the family comfort, and may they find the strength and support of family and friends during this difficult time. 
I met Lynnda at her first book signing party over 20 years ago when I catered her party and we have remained friend since then.
My most cherished memory of Lynnda is when she invited me to go with her church group to the Bahamas to provide hurricane relief and we stayed at her homes. I loved her very dearly. Diana Johnston

Dear Speer family,
May the Lord bless and comfort you during the loss of Lynnda. Thank God Almighty through our Lord Jesus Christ she is with Him in all His glory. 
I met Lynnda in 1992. She was my mentor for all those years. We met every other Wednesday for Bible study and lunch. She was my most closest and wonderful friend as well. We would talk for hours about God’s Word. I learned more from her than any other Christian. 
I will cherish my memories with her the rest of my life. Till we meet again in God’s presence my dear friend.

Blessings,
Linda Smith

All of us at Cairn University are praying for your family. Lynnda was a blessing to our community. She was also a dear friend, vibrant sister in the Lord, and a constant source of personal encouragement. Every conversation I had with her over the years ended up a deep dive into the goodness of God, the power of the gospel, and the authority and sufficiency of Scripture. She was an example to us all of a faithful life well lived. I will miss her dearly, but look forward to that glorious reunion in the world to come.

Lynnda was our Sunday school teacher at Elfers Baptist Church.  She was a wonderful,  caring woman who went above and beyond to make sure we knew and understood 
the word of God.   She was a kind soul who never forgot our special moments.  Lynnda, you will surely be missed by all.  You are now in the land of GLORY.  We will meet again one day!
Maura and David Leason

When I learned of Lynndas passing I was in disbelief. Such a beautiful soul who touched the lives of many. I spent countless times at her home  barbequeing for her church groups, her family and got to watch most of her grandkids grow up .Richard and Lisa my most deepest condolences to you and your families. I will surely miss the times spent with her and you all .

It was an honor to have known Mrs. Speer.  Her comittment to helping the uninsured, medically fragile underserved adults of Pasco County will always be remembered.  She was a woman of grace and caring  and helped those in need in this world. Condolences  to her family and friends.

We mourn the passing of Lynnda Speer, while also rejoicing in the hope of her homegoing to be with the Lord. What can we say about Lynnda? She was a remarkable woman: kind, compassionate, wise, and deeply devoted to serving others. She was a leader, a counselor, a faithful friend, and a tremendous encouragement to so many lives.

Lynnda shared a longstanding friendship and partnership with Keswick Christian School dating back to the early years of the ministry. Our school’s founder, Ruth Munce, developed a special mentoring and discipling relationship with Lynnda during her early adult years. That meaningful connection continued for decades through Lynnda’s faithful support, friendship, and encouragement of our ministry until the day the Lord called her home.

Today, we grieve alongside all those whose lives were touched by Lynnda’s beautiful life and steadfast faith. At the same time, we remain profoundly grateful for the lasting impact she made on our school community and for the foundational friendship she shared with this ministry.

With gratitude and sympathy,
Keswick Christian School

Dear Speer Family,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, and patients of The Good Samaritan Free Health Clinic of Pasco County, I want to express our deepest condolences on the passing of Lynnda Speer.  For more than a decade, Lynnda’s extraordinary generosity and unwavering compassion helped sustain the heart of our mission. Through her annual support, our clinic was able to provide a full-time nurse practitioner who cared for the medical needs of underserved members of our community—individuals and families who otherwise would have nowhere to turn for healthcare.
As a free clinic that has served this community for more than 30 years without federal funding, we survive through private donations, grants, and the dedication of volunteers who believe healthcare should be available to everyone. Less than ten percent of our resources go toward paid staffing, allowing the vast majority of every contribution to directly benefit patient care. People like Lynnda, made that possible.
Her kindness was not simply a financial gift; it was an investment in dignity, hope, healing, and human compassion. Countless lives have been touched because of her commitment to helping others, and her legacy will continue to live on through every patient cared for within our clinic walls.
We are profoundly grateful for her friendship, generosity, and belief in our mission. Please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
With heartfelt sympathy,

Terri Haffner - Nurse Practitioner 
Chairman of the Board
Good Samaritan Free Health Clinic, Pasco Inc.

I only last year had the great opportunity to meet Lynnda. She was the teacher at Bible Study class at First Baptist Elfers Church. She took the hour prior to Church Services to teach several of us the word of God.
I was the newest of group and must admit, she was so remarkably educated in the Bible and the word, that I sat listening intently with such a profound sense of respect and admiration. As she read words from the Bible and discussed the paragraphs with the group I was experiencing something so devine with the ease of how this woman was so full of Jesus Christ 
She never expected us to understand all of it, she would tell us " Remember I have been reading and learning all of this for sixty years"  
She was such a grateful, special , giving , Godly, woman. I am very Blessed to have been given the opportunity to be graced to meet her. 
Lynnda will be missed by all that had a moment in time to spend with her. 
Thank you Lynnda  
✝️

Lisa, not only did Lynnda love the Lord but she loved to laugh! Many times when the two of you were together you laughed so hard you had tears in your eyes.  I loved that! I’m enjoying her commentaries and you were correct, I can hear her voice.  She is where she always wanted to be in the arms of our Savior.  God is good.

Linda was such a special person to me. She was my #1 supporter of my sign language. She constantly gave me encouragement. She would tell me she knew God gave me this gift.  She was a great teacher and every time I was privileged to hear her speak I would learn more than I ever expected to. When I stand up to sign I always looked right at her and I am going to miss her smiling face that always encouraged me.

One of my most memorable selfies — taken at the Speer YMCA Preschool Academy Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, inside the walk-in refrigerator with Lisa and Lynnda. I’ll never forget Lynnda telling me it was her very first selfie ever.

Lynnda took me under her wing almost 20 years ago. I was the youth pastor at FBC Elfers at the time and I occasionally filled the pulpit while Pastor Prose was gone. One Sunday, after hearing me preach, she invited me to dinner, told me of the great potential she believed I had, and then offered to pay for me to attend seminary and pursue a PhD. I was speechless. I honestly thought she had the wrong guy. But Lynnda saw something in me that I couldn't see. She believed in me when I didn't even believe in myself.

That was just the beginning of a truly magnificent friendship. Lynnda would frequently check in with me to hear about the latest subjects I'd been learning about in seminary and we become wonderful sparring partners on all matters of theology. Her desire to know God with whole heart and MIND were unparalleled. I have often said that Lynnda is one of the only people I know who every time I talked to her she brought up some issue related to God and his Word. Without fail. 

In one such conversation, Lynnda and I began talking about the glories and splendors of Heaven and how wonderful it would be to be in the presence of Jesus. I will never forget, as we sat in her home office, she looked across the chair and said, "He only has to call my name once." I can't tell you how much comfort that memory has brought me in this past week, and I hope it brings you the same comfort. She loved Jesus as much as, or more than, anyone I know and she is right where she always wanted to be.

I am so grateful that she had the chance to see her investment in my life come to full fruition just over a month ago when I was inaugurated as the 10th president of Trinity College of Florida. Lynnda has loved and supported this institution through many difficult years. I'm happy to report that this Fall we expecting the highest enrollment that our institution has EVER seen.  Lynnda's legacy will live on in me and in TCF. She will be missed but never forgotten.

Dr. Christopher Ryan Gates

The first time I saw Lynnda she was teaching a bible class to children at the Boulevard Baptist Church in New Port Richey. It was about 1975…she was sitting under a light which made her blond hair shimmer….I thought she looked like an angel!  And that’s exactly what she was to all of us..for years and years …she was a special lady in all ways. I am heartbroken that she left us but thrilled that she was able to rest in Jesus’s Arms…..
Love you, Lynnda. ♥️♥️♥️

Lynnda was a continuous inspiration to me and my wife, as well as many who are being ministered to by The Presidential Prayer Team.  As long as I have known Lynnda, she always showed a non-wavering commitment to sharing the simplicity and the power of the good news of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.  She was in tune with the Holy Spirit to do the will of the Father in her daily life.  It has been my privilege to pray alongside her and when she prayed it was anointed and powerful.  She so lovingly prayed for me when I was sick and almost died, and God healed me.  Praise the Lord!! She was a true Ambassador of Jesus, always speaking the truth and helping others whenever she could.  She will be missed here on earth, but I pray her Christlike legacy will continue to draw many closer to Jesus in her world of influence (family, friends, associates, and acquaintances).  I still draw strength and wisdom from her as I remember my times with her.  Thank you Lynnda!!

Lynnda Speer has served our Lord as a Faithful Servant of Inspiration, Information and uplifting Influence  for His believers and the community at large.  With integrity, honesty, and humility, she stood for the TRUTH.  The Lord Jesus is her model of conduct and life.  He is her wonderful Savior.  She genuinely cared for people, offering to call them anytime for encouragement through a difficult situation or even a death in the family.  My Billie was an example.   She is the "REAL DEAL".  Words are totally inadequate to describe the Impact of her life for the Lord, but for all to know this:  She has received her W.D. Degree from Jesus:  Well Done!  It is the best degree offered anywhere period.  We do not say goodbye to her BUT only "See You Later" as believers.  What a GREAT Reunion awaits....More than we can imagine!

I am so sorry for your loss! She was such a beacon for Christ! Lynnda was like a spiritual mentor to me and many people at First Baptist of Elfers. In addition, she poured into our students at Elfers Christian school she loved spending time with them for Q and A ‘s about the Bible and life. I know they never grew bored and she loved it! What a legacy she leaves! She will always be remembered  having a generous spirit of her time, money and  her knowledge of the word! Can’t wait till we meet again!

With my most sincerest sympathies, I am sorry for the loss of your loved one. I will always remember Lynnda as a woman of strength and kindness. Her generous spirit will always be remembered and she will be missed dearly. My prayers for strength and guidance  go with her family now. May she rest in Peace.
--Catherine Hillard
