Lynette Ann Markel, 64, died Dec. 24, 2025, at Hutchinson.

She was born Sept. 1, 1961, in Wichita, the daughter of Raymond and Phyllis (Geubelle) Lubbers. She grew up in the St. Joe Ost community, where she attended grade school, then later graduated from Andale High School. On Nov. 30, 1985, a cold and icy day, she married Daryl Markel at St. Joe Ost, Kansas. They moved to Pretty Prairie in 1992, where they raised their kids and spent the rest of their time together.

Lynette was sort of a jack of all trades as she was a former dental assistant, a medical records clerk, babysitter, stay at home mom, and para-professional for several surrounding school districts. Later in life, she followed and helped Daryl and Tony with their family business while also getting to be a full-time grandma.

Lynette was a very giving person and liked to volunteer her time helping others. She was a member of the St. Rose Catholic Church and the Altar Society, both at Mt. Vernon. She also taught PSR, participated in Bible study and volunteered at the Lord’s Diner. Her time and commitment has had a lasting impact on others. She continued to give even up to the end by being an organ donor and blessing the lives of others.

Lynette is survived by her husband, Daryl; her son, Tony Markel and his wife Julie; daughter, Andrea Hastings and her husband Cody; sisters, Lesa (Perry) Maus and Lavina (Shawn) Telford; and grandchildren, Kenna and Kimber Markel, Eli, Ezra, and Eliana Hastings.

Parish rosary will be 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 30, at St. Rose Catholic Church, Mt. Vernon. Mass of Christian Burial will be 10:30 a.m., Wednesday, Dec. 31, also at St. Rose Catholic Church. Burial will be in the St. Rose of Lima, Mt. Vernon Cemetery.

Memorials may be made to the St. Rose Building Fund and mailed to Livingston Funeral Home, 1830 N. Main, Kingman KS 67068.
