LYNETTE LAYTON KINARD 1941-2007

Lynette Call Layton Kinard, 66, died the morning of Monday December 3, 2007 following a 10 A½ year battle with breast cancer, the last two and half years with metastatic disease. Her fight was courageous, determined and successful as she extended her life beyond expectations allowing her to spend more precious moments with those she loved.

She was born January 13, 1941 in Ogden to Rex and Ruth Layton. She grew up in Layton with her parents and late brother attending Verdland Park Elementary, North Davis and Central Davis Junior High Schools and Davis High. She graduated in home economics and education from BYU, and taught home economics at Sunset, Kaysville and Bountiful Junior High Schools. Hers was a life dedicated to teaching and helping others, whether in a formal classroom, at home with her children, in church service, or with her many friends. She has often been referred to by those who knew her as a dignified, refined, kindly person who thought more of others and their needs than her own. Her LDS church service included Stake Relief Society President, ward Relief Society president three times, Young Women''s leader and Sunday School teacher.

She married J. Spencer Kinard in the Salt Lake Temple July 12, 1963. They are the parents of five children: Holly (Dan) Horton, Layton; David (Heather) Kinard, Fishers, IN; Jeffrey (Jennifer) Kinard, Huntsville, AL; Heidi (Eric) Anderson, Layton; and Melissa (Jeff) Eschler, Layton. She is survived by her husband, children, fourteen grandchildren, mother-in-law, sisters-in-law and many aunts, uncles and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother John Layton.

Her most important work in life was bearing and raising five wonderful children and supporting her husband in his work. Together they traveled the world and enjoyed glorious and wonderful experiences. She was equally at ease and comfortable with the world leaders and the famous she met as she was with anyone who crossed her path. Many of her most cherished memories were of traveling on tour with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir as their guest.

The family is especially grateful to the medical personnel who gave many compassionate hours of care, especially doctors Vincent Hansen, John Thomson, Gordon Watson and their nurses and VistaCare Hospice nurse Mindy Green.
