Lynn Marie Wendel Bull, 73, of Bristol, Vermont passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 4th at University of Vermont Medical Center, surrounded by her family.
She was born on July 27, 1951, in Portland, ME to Jack E & Madeline (Hurlburt) Wendel.
Lynn attended grade school in Bristol and was in the first class to graduate from the newly constructed Mt. Abe, class of ’69.
Lynn was born in Portland. Almost immediately Jack & Midge moved to California for Jack to further his career. When she was 3 they moved back to Vermont to raise their family.
She followed in her fathers’ artistic footsteps working in graphic design, and then moved on to sewing and knitting where she found a true calling. She was a knitter until she retired in 2010.
Lynn loved to travel with her best friend Maggie. Some of their favorite places were Key West, New Orleans, Outer Banks & Savannah. They would map out their trip, jump in the minivan and head off for new adventures.
