Sarah “Lynn” Wellons, 74, passed away Monday, July 15, 2024, after a long term illness. Born December 31, 1949, in Greensboro, NC, she was the daughter of the late Lee Douglas Wellons and Alice Finley Wellons.
Lynn had a varied career including legal secretary, office manager, and teacher. She as a passionate fan of Tar Heel sports. She was also an accomplished pianist and violinist and was a Masterworks season ticket holder for the Greensboro Symphony for many years.
Lynn was very thoughtful, sending cards for every occasion and holiday with a personal note. She enjoyed gift giving, hosting sleepovers with her nieces, and letting them dress up in her old clothes, watching movies and sometimes sneaking in a PG-13. She would let them eat all the junk food their parents wouldn’t let them have. When her nieces started having children, Lynn came up with the idea to give Christmas ornaments that the children could enjoy for years to come. Lynn was a fun-loving and doting aunt; and her nieces will always treasure their time together with her.
Those left to remember her fondly is her husband, Richard Hoffman; sisters, Diana Wellons Butner, Susan Wellons Campbell (Jimmie}; brother Brock Wellons(Emelyne); nieces, Amy Strange (Mike), Ashley Ward (Jay), Brittany Fuller (Pete), Allison Langhorne (Wil) and nephew Chess Wellons.
A small family gathering will be held from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m., Saturday, July 27 at Hanes Lineberry North Elm Chapel, 515 North Elm Street, Greensboro.
