October 10, 1973 — April 30, 2024

Lynn "Lynnie" Kettenbeil,

A beacon of love and laughter, passed away on April 30, 2024, at the age of 50. Born on October 10, 1973, in Milwaukee, WI, Lynnie lived a life marked by generosity, humor, and unwavering kindness. She departed this world in Cleveland, WI, leaving behind a legacy of warmth and cherished memories.


Lynnie grew up in Milwaukee, where she attended local schools and graduated from high school. She carried the spirit of her city with her, always proud of her roots. Lynnie's passion for cooking led her to a fulfilling career as a cook at the beloved Pack 'R Inn, where she not only shared her culinary talents but also her infectious laugh and the ability to make everyone feel like family.


Those who knew Lynnie will remember her for the love she had for animals and her culinary adventures. Her dishes were not just meals; they were expressions of her love and care for those around her. Lynnie's kitchen was a place of gathering, storytelling, and the kind of laughter that echoes in one's heart long after the moment has passed.


Lynnie is survived by her devoted mother, Pauline Crawford, and her brothers, John (Tiffiny) Kettenbeil, Tony (Ashley) Kettenbeil and Joey (Justine) Kettenbeil. She was a cherished partner to Gary Wenniger, whose life was deeply enriched by her presence. Lynnie's love extended to her nieces, Antonia (Taylor) Schmidt and Alexandria Woods, her nephews, Marchello Dasko and John Beaumont, her beloved aunt, Cindy (Michael) Pederson and cousin, Kurt Kettenbeil. Each family member was touched by Lynnie's loving nature and will carry a piece of her generous spirit with them always.


Described by all who knew her as loving, funny, and generous, Lynnie had a gift for making the ordinary extraordinary. She had a joke for every occasion, a hug for every sorrow, and an open door for anyone in need. Her laughter was a melody that played throughout the lives of her loved ones, a tune that will continue to resonate in their memories.


Lynnie's life was a testament to the beauty of simplicity and the power of kindness. She found joy in the everyday and could turn a simple meal into a feast of happiness. Her presence was a comfort, her words a balm, and her actions a lesson in compassion.


As the sun sets on Lynnie's time with us, we are reminded of the light she brought into the world. She was a soul who lived fully, loved deeply, and laughed heartily. Her spirit will be missed, but the love she shared will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to have known her.


Lynn "Lynnie" Kettenbeil will be profoundly missed by her family, friends, and all who were graced by her warmth. As we say farewell to Lynnie, we celebrate a life lived with boundless love and an unforgettable sense of humor. Her memory will be treasured, her stories retold, and her kindness emulated by those she leaves behind. Lynnie's journey on earth has ended, but her legacy will continue to embrace us, just as her loving arms once did.
