October 27, 1947 – March 14, 2026
Lynette Claflin, 78, of Fargo, ND, passed away on Saturday, March 14, 2026 at Sanford Hospice House in Fargo.
Lynette Claflin passed away surrounded by the love of her family. She will be remembered for her kindness, strength, and the deep love she had for her family and friends.
Lynette is survived by her loving husband, John Claflin. Together they built a life centered around family and five children. She was a proud mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
She is also survived by her children: Scott (Barbara) Claflin, Jeff (Angela) Claflin, Gerard (Melanie) Torno, Renae (Jimmy) Berg, Melissa (Tim) Newman, and her sister, Lavonne (Frank) Rhue. Lynette's legacy continues through her twelve grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her great joy.
