Lynn’s service will be livestreamed below starting at 2:00 PM Monday, August 28, 2023.

Lynn Reneé (Harrison) Holzer was born on December 4th, 1953 to parents Ken & Lucille (Otie) Harrison in Mobridge, SD. She grew up with 3 older brothers and spent most of her childhood in Mobridge, SD and graduated high school there in 1972.

That same year she married Richard Holzer and together they had 3 children, Shawn, Amy & Chrissie. Initially living in California, after Rich finished serving in the U.S. Navy they returned to South Dakota making their home in Mobridge and later Aberdeen. Lynn was very creative and always enjoyed fashion and decorating. Early in life she would often sew clothes of all kinds for her and the family. Education was also very important to Lynn so in 1989 she decided to go to college and they moved to the Fargo-Moorhead area so she could attend North Dakota State University. Lynn graduated in 1993 with a B.S. in Human Development. After that she worked at the YWCA Shelter in Fargo and later Thrifty White Drug as a Pharmacy Tech until she officially retired on December 30, 2022.

Lynn enjoyed traveling, watching sports and listening to music. Lynn always had music playing and it was usually the Beattles. Over her life she made trips to Europe, Alaska, and Mexico among others. She was also quietly very competitive and loved her Minnesota Vikings and NDSU Bison football.

Lynn lived out her life lifting up others. She enjoyed being around friends and family and always had time for coffee and conversations. She was happiest with a group of friends or whenever her family would gather. She loved hearing everyone’s stories and sharing her thoughts on just about anything. Most of all Lynn loved to laugh and her smile was as big as her heart. Later in life no one made her smile more than her grandkids. She was so happy to be a grandma and was very proud of each one of them.

Eventually Lynn would succumb to a long-fought battle with liver failure and passed away on August 19, 2023 peacefully in her Fargo home with her daughters by her side.

Grateful for having shared in her life are son Shawn (Kristen) Holzer, daughter Amy Wieland, and daughter Chrissie (Eric) Magness, brothers Larry (Phyllis) Harrison, Mick (Noreen) Harrison, Tom (Betty) Harrison and grand kids Hailee Wieland, Brooklyn Wieland, William Holzer, and Wakeley Holzer as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her father Ken Harrison, mother Lucille (Otie) Harrison, and her grandparents.
