Lynette's murder has left behind her Son & Daughter without their Mother in their lives

Lynette was a nurse who worked for 29 years at the same clinic. In her spare time enjoyed golfing, cross stitching, exercising, river life, knitting and crocheting.

Lynette was found in the bedroom of her former home, dead of gunshot wounds. Her husband, Mike Rossin, 49, was also found dead of gunshot wounds. Police determined that Mike Rossin had shot his wife to death and then committed suicide. The couple was in the process of divorcing.

On the night of the murder, Lynette was spending the evening across the street at the home of Goodview Mayor Jack Weimerskirch, along with her sister and brother-in-law. Mike Rossin telephoned the mayor’s home and asked Lynette to come over to talk to him. When Lynette did not return after 90 minutes, her sister and brother-in-law went to the Rossin house, where they discovered the bodies.

Lynette had been living with her mother a few blocks away from her former home. Her daughter was living with Lynnette and her son was living with his father.
