 - McGARRY,
- Zoe Lynette
- (Squires)
- Passed away on October 29, 2009, after a brief illness. She was definitely one-of-a-kind and brought joy, love and exasperation to her friends and family throughout her 70 years of life. Zoe Lynette had wanderlust
- from her early years and her yearning for travel inspired her career as a Spanish and French teacher. Zoe Lynette taught for many years in Spokane at Lewis & Clark, North Central and Shadle Park High Schools. She also taught in Liberia, Africa and Singapore. Her love of travel took her to every continent except Antarctica and that was next on her list. Strangers were friends she hadn't met yet. Zoe Lynette had travel experiences that amazed all who knew her. She inadvertently had lunch with the Red Chinese Army on the side of a Himalayan mountain, broke her leg in an airplane on the way to Paris, and got lost in Red Square in the former Soviet Union. She zip-lined through the jungle in Costa Rica on her 70th birthday. She will be greatly missed by her family and many loving friends and the thousands of students whose lives she enriched. She is survived by her sister, Diane Squires Emmingham: brother in law, Robin Emmingham; nephews Brent Emmingham and Terry Emmingham; nieces in law, Donna Emmingham and Robin Emmingham; and cousins, Craig Storti, Mike Ripley and Joyce Philip. Lynette was active in numerous civic, cultural and social activities and all will miss her cheerful presence. Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to the Museum of Arts and Culture or the charity of your choice. A Celebration of Lynette's Life will be held on Friday, November 6, 2009, at 3:00 pm, at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Spokane 4340 W. Ft. George Wright Dr, Spokane, WA. HAZEN & JAEGER FUNERAL HOME 1306 N. Monroe in charge of services.
