Anna “Mom” Lynch, 86, French Lick

Anna “Mom” Lynch, 86, of French Lick, entered into eternal rest on July 10, 2026, at Deaconess Memorial Medical Center in Jasper.

She was born in Shoals, Indiana, on May 3, 1940, to Harvey and Bernice (McNeff) Powell.

Ann married Claude “Duke” Lynch on August 7, 1954, and he preceded her in death on November 10, 1998.

She was also preceded in death by her parents, special uncle, George Powell and son-in-law, James Jeffries.

Ann was a member of Our Lady of the Springs Catholic Church, had worked at Fast Eddie’s and retired from Dairy Queen.

Annie was known for keeping everyone on their toes and telling everyone to “hurry up!” A special thank you to the staff at Springs Valley Meadows as there are many stories of her attempting to bake something in her room that did not turn out so well. She did not hesitate in speaking her mind as to how things should be done.

She had once enjoyed sewing, quilting, loved butterflies, and was well known for her cooking and baking. Annie loved her family and especially her grandchildren.

Ann is survived by son, Tommy Lynch (Cheryl) of French Lick; daughters, Claudia Jeffries of Seneca, Missouri, and Kathy Allstott (Kevin) of West Baden Springs; sister, Rosa Bolton of Jasper; grandchildren, Jami Hembree, Justin and Lance Jeffries, Tommy Lynch, and Michael, Jacob, Luke and Zeke Allstott; step-grandchildren, Chad Parks, Nikki Hobby, Blaine Buchanan, and Heather Tharp; 13 great-grandchildren; eight step-great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren and one on the way; sisters-in-law, Judith Harrison of New York and Norma Lynch of West Baden Springs.
