Billye E. MacKinnon-Lynch
Billye Edith MacKinnon-Lynch died peacefully, surrounded by her children, on Aug. 14, 2001, in Sacramento. She was 77 years old.
Born on Feb. 3, 1924, in Rolla, Kan., she left home at age 17 with her best friend, Maxine, aboard a train bound for San Francisco. It was there that she met her first husband, Robert Lynch. They were married in San Francisco in 1948.
After spending time in both Arizona and San Diego, they settled in Sacramento and raised four sons while managing the family insurance business, Comstock Adjustment Service.
She was a longtime member of the Carmichael Presbyterian Church, and enjoyed camping, fishing and traveling to Mexico and Alaska.
In 1976, her husband Robert died. She remarried in 1981. She had many friends in Davis.
She is survived by her brother, Cliff Tillett of Augusta, Kan.; her second husband, John MacKinnon of Sacramento; her four sons and daughters-in-law, Michael Lynch of Sacramento, Cathy Winger of Loomis, Steve and Teresa Lynch of Davis, Jeff and Karen Lynch of Sacramento, and Scott and Jeannine Lynch of Sacramento; and her 10 grandchildren, Erin, Caitlin, Alison, Hannah, Robert, Patrick, Chelsea, Thomas, Kayla and Daniel.
Friends and family are welcome at a celebration of her life, to be held Sunday at 2 p.m. at Warehouse Christian Ministries, 9933 Business Park Drive in Sacramento. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in her name to CommuniCare Health Centers, 2040 Sutter Place, Davis, CA 95616.
