Linda Lee (Lynn) Forgione

Linda Lee (Lynn) Forgione passed away August 11, 2024. She was born in Brooklyn, NY and at the age of 11 moved to Long Island. There at the age of 13, she met Joe Forgione; four years later they were engaged and married on July 4, 1967. Family was everything to Lynn and home was always where Joe was. In 1970 they moved to Fort Lauderdale, FL, and moved around and traveled a lot with Joe’s work; but eventually retired in Inverness, FL (Citrus County) where they have lived since 2001. Her most important role in life was mother to two children, Daniel (Cowboy) and her Angel Tami. Lynn measured success by being a loyal and trusting life partner to Joe and raising two happy children. With that, her dreams came true and she lived a full life. She stayed home and cared for her children when they were young, but eventually went to work at Motorola in the mid 1970’s. She also worked for the State of Florida inspecting trees for diseases and eventually took on an administrative role; and she went on to work as an office manager in a CPA firm for many years. Her family will always cherish her undying love and devotion; she was a trusting and loyal wife for 57 years, always putting Joe and her children first. For her many friends she will always be remembered as someone who had a caring heart and was always there for you. To have Lynn as a friend was to have someone that you could 100% count on, no question. But what stands out beyond that is a sense of humor that will keep smiles on our faces for years to come. Lynn loved to light up a room with laughter. Lynn was a fighter, and an inspiration, as she battled numerous health issues throughout her life. At the young age of 34 she beat breast cancer. She was badly hurt years later in a serious motorcycle accident and faced a long recovery both physically and medically. These among other health issues through the years never dampened her sense of humor and her desire to put others first. Her favorite hobby was arts and crafts, of many kinds. She was very creative and artistically talented. Lynn loved teaching others as well. She had a particular love for making unique greeting cards and never missed an occasion to send one of her works of art to friends and family. Her cards are so exceptional they are valued keepsakes to many. Her star will continue to shine for all who knew her, so many great times, laughs and love. A celebration of Lynn’s life will be held at the Chas. E. Davis Funeral Home chapel on Friday, August 30, 2024 at 12:30PM, with a committal service following at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell at 2:30.
