battle with cancer. She was 74.
Lynne was one tough woman who never stopped fighting. Her resilience truly amazed her
family and friends. She is no longer here, but we all have wonderful memories and are so
grateful she is no longer in pain.
Lynne grew up in an Army family and lived in several states before her father retired from
military service. Her family moved to Amarillo, TX where she graduated from Tascosa High
School and made many life-long friends during her time there.
She went on to earn her Bachelor of Science (BS) from Texas Tech University and her Master of
Business Administration (MBA) from Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos.
Lynne loved dancing. At an early age she began learning tap and ballet. She aspired to become
a professional dancer. She took dance classes at the Austin Rec Center while her daughter took
judo in the next room.
Throughout the 70s, she spent Friday nights after work with her daughter and co-workers from
the Texas Department of Public Welfare at Austin landmarks such as the Armadillo World
Headquarters and Scholtz’s Beer Garden.
She loved adventures and lived in several states including Arizona, Nevada, DC, Florida, Texas,
Alabama, Pennsylvania, and Maryland while advancing her career as a Healthcare Executive.
When she was selected for her first executive position in Page, Arizona, she bought a new
copper colored 1979 Ford F-100 pickup. She loaded up the pets and her daughter for the
journey. In Page she ran two non-profit healthcare centers for Navajo Americans. She and her
daughter enjoyed many nights camping in the pickup on Lake Powell at the top of the Grand
Canyon. It was the Navajo weavers who sparked her passion for weaving and fiber arts.
After many years of investment in her career, Lynne achieved the enviable goal of retiring from
the Healthcare industry at the young age of 50 years old. Her focus turned to knitting, weaving
and other fiber arts, as well as spending more time with her family in Texas.
One of Lynne’s true passions was her pets. She consistently maintained a menagerie of at least
2 – 6 dogs, cats, birds, and bunnies through the years. She met her husband Bob in the midnineties
in Pennsylvania where they both owned Pet Sitting businesses. Clearly, they had the
love of pets in common. Lynne and Bob fell in love and got married. True to form, she bought a
5th wheel pickup and a trailer, they loaded up the pets, and made their way back to Texas to
stay.
Lynne was preceded in death by her parents Carthel “Red” and Gwendola Morgan, her brother
Burke Morgan, sisters-in-law Mary Craig and Patricia Morgan. She is survived by her husband
Bob Schuster, brother Del Morgan, daughter Vanessa and wife Sherry Morgan, nieces and
nephews Danna and Brad Barnes, Kyle and Sylvia Craig, Whitney Morgan, Art, Josh and
Cheyenne Barranco, Michaelyn and Ryan Bradford along with her beloved cats Brown Kitty and
Lucky.
The family will hold a small virtual memorial for family and friends. Her ashes will be
scattered at a future date.
