Pacific Grove

Pacific Grove, California – Lynn Bomberger, born in Modesto, was grateful for her friends and for having a good life. She died in July at the age of 80.

Lynn’s main interest was always nature. While being a camper and eventually a leader at Camp Jack Hazard in the High Sierra, she fell in love with mountain trails and wilderness.

As an adult, she enjoyed sharing information with others who also loved nature. She volunteered with the Monterey branches of the Sierra Club and the California Native Plant Society (CNPS). She led hikes with the Sierra Club, led CNPS field trips for 12 years, and composed the local CNPS newsletter for a decade. Throughout her life, she took more than thirty nature focused trips around the globe. She also enjoyed sewing, created numerous oil paintings, enjoyed horseback trail riding and parading (1975 state champion), along with many other interests.

Her career was primarily teaching at Caswell Elementary in Ceres, Fitch Middle School in Fort Ord, and Clovis West High School in Clovis.

Facing cognitive problems, she chose to peacefully end her life to avoid advanced dementia. Lynn is survived by her sister, Judie Bomberger. She requested not to have a memorial service.
