Lynn Shannon Bromley
Lynn Shannon Bromley, 83, of Walkerville, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Friday, July 4, 2025, at her home, surrounded by family. She was born May 8, 1942, in Twining, Michigan, the daughter of Rev. Justus Dowd and Aleta (Curtis) Dowd.
Lynn attended grade school at Twining Arenac Eastern. She later attended Walkerville High school, where she met the love of her life and husband of 63 years, Marlin Bromley. Following high school, she attended Palomar College, becoming a registered nurse. Lynn faithfully cared for others for 40 years, culminating in her becoming an educator, teaching the next generation of nurses. She then would go on to be the administrator of nursing for Mecosta General Hospital.
Lynn was also a very talented singer, and used her beautiful music to minister the gospel to others. She was a member of singing groups Unanimous Voice, and later, Northern Edge. Lynn had recorded with Eddie Crook and Gaither, and performed at and organized many gospel events and concerts in the West Michigan Area.
Lynn and her family also ran a gospel radio show on WEEH and others for over 20 years. A familiar face at music nights in the Hart Historic District, and then Hart’s Friday’s in the Park, Lynn loved to minister through gospel music to her local community.
Lynn also enjoyed gospel cruises, and was a faithful member of Walkerville Wesleyan Church, participating in many years of outreach. Above all, Lynn loved God, her church, and her family. She will be dearly missed by all of those that she has touched over the years.
