Lynette R. (Rogier) Ringle, 60, of Tiffin, passed away August 8, 2024, at OSU Wexner Medical Center following a long, courageous battle with AL Amyloidosis.

Lynette's survivors include daughters, Elizabeth Clifton of Tiffin and Renee (Anthony) O'Rourke of Powell; step-daughter, Caitlin (Jacob) Scarbury and step-son, Tony Ringle, both of Bloomville; granddaughter, Olivia O'Rourke; and step grandchildren, Abigail and Kyle O'Rourke, Lillian Grimes, Josiah Bradley, and Natalee Scarbury; mother, Rita, of Tiffin; sisters, Andrea (Jim) Gase and Christine Randall, both of Tiffin; brothers, Mike (Kim) Rogier of Clinton Township, Michigan and Steve (Vanessa) Rogier of Hilliard; several nieces and nephews; sister-in-law, Kim Clifton of Tiffin; and friends who were like family including her "BFAW". 

She was preceded in death by her father and infant brother, Ronald Rogier.

Lynette graduated from Columbian High School in 1982, and was employed by Mercy Hospital of Tiffin for 40 years in various roles. She was a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist and was instrumental in developing the sleep lab in Tiffin in 1996. She served as Coordinator of both the Tiffin and Willard Mercy sleep labs. Family and friends were the most important gifts to her, and she loved spending as much time with them as possible. She loved to be outdoors, tending to her flowers and garden. She also enjoyed traveling, OSU football games and caring for her beloved pets and wildlife. She cherished family movie/game nights and could be counted on to make everyone laugh with her competitive spirit and her over the top cackles. Most of all, her greatest joy was being "Gamma" to Olivia. Lynette was known for her kind and nurturing spirit, and will be dearly missed by those who knew her.
