Lynelle was one of first workers when I opened the Cheyenne Depot here in Lame Deer in 1988. She worked with Linda Hunt, the first manager and with Willie Sequi, Sr. She was an excellent employee and took her job seriously. She brought laughter to the Cheyenne Depot along with her brilliant smile. I will miss that smile. She will now share it with her girls in Heaven.
