Lynne Farraway Randazzo

Lynne Farraway Randazzo passed away on January 26, 2026, in Newnan, Georgia, at the age of 80. Her passing leaves a quiet space that feels different without her, yet her warmth, kindness, and spirit remain deeply felt by all who knew her.

Lynne was born on October 27, 1945, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, to Clarence and Ella Farraway. She was the middle child of five children: Donald Farraway (deceased), Sheila Farraway (deceased), Lynne, Douglas Farraway, and Susan Long.

Lynne grew up surrounded by the love of her family and a strong sense of community that shaped her early years. She fondly remembered her family camping trips to Lake Erie and spending time in a bustling, busy home. She attended Barton Secondary School, graduating with the Class of 1963, and stayed closely connected to her Canadian roots throughout her life—returning as often as she could to visit the family she cherished.

Lynne later made her home in the United States, living in Utah, Colorado, Texas, and eventually Georgia. She built a life centered on faith, service, music, and the people she loved. No matter where she lived or worked, Lynne carried with her a steady kindness and dedication that defined her character.

While living in Utah, Lynne worked at the Church Office Building (headquarters for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) in the Architecture, Engineering & Construction Division. In Colorado, she worked as a case worker for Social Services. While in Georgia, she worked in Inside Sales for local manufacturing companies.

Lynne raised four children with unwavering love and devotion: Ryan Hunt, Meredith Hunt Olvey (Wade Olvey), Trevor Hunt (Danny Hunt), and Tyler Hunt. She was also preceded in death by her firstborn infant son, Ian Hunt. To her family, her love was constant—gentle, encouraging, patient, and full of understanding.

To those closest to her, she was “Nan” or “Miss Lynne,” both names spoken with love and gratitude. Her grandchildren were a joy to her, and she treasured every moment with each of them. She leaves behind six grandchildren: Local Atticus, Evan May, Mak May, Alice May (Randazzo), Arden Atticus, and Eian Hunt.

Lynne was “the village.” She was a trusted adult for her children and their friends. All were welcomed in her home, whether for a meal, a conversation, or a place to rest. She was an extra pair of hands, driver, nanny, and babysitter for her children and grandchildren, as well as for several other families with young children. Lynne’s willingness to serve in whatever capacity was needed left a lasting legacy of love and compassion.

Lynne also had a deep affection for her animals, and they for her. The family’s pets would often join her as she moved about the house, certain in their own way that they were helping with whatever task she was doing. At night, they would sit at her feet while she relaxed and sleep beside her—a constant reminder of the bond they shared.

A gifted musician, Lynne played both the piano and the organ with grace and sincerity. Music was one of her greatest joys—an offering she shared freely, bringing comfort, peace, and happiness to those around her.

She loved to read and had a thirst for knowledge. She was known to read “Alas, Babylon” every few years, as well as “Lightning” and “Watchers” by Dean Koontz. Lynne also spent countless hours studying the scriptures, enjoying her church’s “Come Follow Me” study program, and other religious and secular topics.

Lynne had a deep affection for her plants. Her children loved the “jungle” she created around them—making any place she lived a lush garden. Her children and grandchildren carry fond memories of her putting around on the porch as she took care of her plants.

She was an amazing cook. Favorites among her family were her banana bread, potato soup, “fabulous” pot roast, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, and her stew. Her son Tyler’s coworkers loved her cookies and often requested her treats.

Service was one of Lynne’s greatest gifts. Throughout her life, she volunteered in her church and community-teaching, leading, cooking, cleaning, and stepping in wherever she was needed. She had thoughtful opinions but always shared them with kindness and care. Her faith was lived through action, and she embodied the belief that small acts of service create giant ripples.

Lynne’s legacy lives on in her children, her grandchildren, her extended family in Canada, and the many friends and loved ones whose lives were better because of her. She will be remembered most for her steady strength, her warm smile, and the kindness she offered so freely.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Chapel at 157 Bob Smith Road in Sharpsburg, Georgia 30277. The family will greet guests beginning at 10:30 a.m. prior to the service.
