| Lynn Mathaney Delvich
Lynne Delvich, R.N., a well respected and liked member of the nursing and social services communities of Ridgecrest and Apopka, Fla. passed away Wendesday June 15, 2005 at Ridgecrest Regional Hospital. She was 62. At her request there will be no services but donations in her memory may be made to one's favorite charity. Ms. Delvich was born June 10, 1943 in Baltimore, Md. She graduated from Winter Park (Fla.) High School in 1962. She first took up residency in the Ridgecrest area in the late 1960s as a data technician for Stencel Aero Engineering on the EA-6B Escape System SNORT test project at the Naval Weapons Center, China Lake. It was then she developed her lifelong love of fishing and camping in the mountains and deserts of California. In the 1970s she moved to Apopka, Fla. to support her parent's agricultural enterprises and to study nursing, becoming both a registered nurse and obtaining a bachelor's degree in nursing from the University of Central Florida in 1990. Along with managing the family business she put her skils to work in Florida's Migrant Workers Health Programs and aided UCF in setting up a nurse internship with the migrant health program, so that student nurses could experience working in the community before graduation. She held registered nurse licenses in both Florida and California. After a few years her love of the Eastern Sierra Nevada
mountains and the Bristlecone country called her to move back to California
where she continued her medical and social services vocation including
teaching at Cerro Coso Community College, nursing at Ridgecrest Community
Hospital, the Indian Health Program in Lone Pine, the Ridgecrest Beverly
Manor and assisting the handicapped clients of the non-profit DART organization.
Her contributions to these communities and organizations will be sorely
missed. She is survived by her father Raymond Delvich, her sister
Bonnie and a niece and nephew.
