Lynette G. Meier

Lynette Caldwell Meier March 31, 1942 - August 28, 2021 Lynette passed away peacefully at home in Bend, Oregon, surrounded by her family. Lynette was born in Newberg, Oregon, to Audrey and Frank Caldwell, the fourth of five children. She grew up in Milwaukie and graduated from Milwaukie High School in 1960 where she was active in the schools rally squad. On March 17, 1961, she married her high school sweetheart, David Meier. A few years later Lynette and Dave moved to Bend where they raised their three children. Lynette retired from the Deschutes County Assessors office in 1999 after 29 years of service. She was preceded in death by her mother and father as a teenager and by her three brothers Frank, Bob and Jack in recent years. Lynette is survived by her husband David Meier and children Danna (Charles) Haynes, Danelle (Kelly) Foster, Ty (Deborah) Meier, Grand children Audrey (Alwin) Borgmann, David (Chelsea) Haynes, Madison (Kameren) Dworak and Natalie Foster, her sister Lucille (Lucy) Caldwell Bloedel, her sister in laws Marlene, Doreen, Deedee Caldwell, brother in law Richard (Anita) Meier. Great-grand children include Adelaide and Alice Borgmann, Hadley, Aidyn and Benson Haynes and Bowden Dworak. There are 14 nieces and nephews. Lynette was the caring and loving mother, grandmother (Grammie) and great-grandmother every child would want to have. She was steadfast in her thoughts and beliefs and always thinking of family first. Health issues during midlife required a kidney transplant, the donor being her oldest daughter Danna. This complicated doing things she might have loved to do but a love of flowers and gardening, cards with friends twice a month and attending family events between Bend, Portland, Eugene, Coos Bay and Seattle kept she and Dave very busy. A special and true hero for Lynette was her kidney doctor, Michael Feldman, who treated and provided her 15 years of meaningful health and life. A celebration of life is scheduled for September 18, 3:30 PM at Trinity Lutheran Church in Bend. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to the Trinity Lutheran Church and School, 2550 NE Butler Market Rd, Bend, Or 97701, or Partners In Care Hospice, 2075 NE Wyatt Ct, Bend, Or 97701. Niswonger-Reynolds is honored to serve the family. 541-382-2471
