Lynn Towe McGuffey passed away on June 23, 2024 at her home in Birmingham, Alabama surrounded by her family. Lynn was diagnosed with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy in 2010. She is survived by her husband, Bryan McGuffey, identical twin daughters, Anne Hulsey (Widowed), Seneca, SC, Beth Wilkie (Christopher) Thornton, NH, brothers Mark Towe (Doris) Paradise Vally, AZ, Tyler Towe (Roni) Scio, Ohio, granddaughters, Elizabeth Rayne Pearson, Madelyn Gray Pearson, Kathryn Lauren Pearson, grandsons, Camden Hulsey, Noah Hulsey, Ewan Lawrence Wilkie, nephew, Ryan Towe (Katy) Dallas, TX, and niece, Mary Catherine Fischer (Brian) San Diego, CA.
Lynn was born in Glasgow, KY on August 31, 1945. She was 78 years old. Her parents were Robert Towe, Owen Yates and Marjorie Towe Yates, Scottsville, KY. Her grandparents were Roy Towe and Toncie Dodd Towe, Scottsville, KY, and Warren Weaver and Mary Stephens Weaver, Scottsville, KY.
Lynn grew up in Scottsville, KY, graduating from Scottsville High School as Valedictorian of the Class of 1963. She was not only a gifted student, but also active in several clubs and a cheerleader. Lynn graduated from Western Kentucky University Suma Cum Laude with a BA and MA in English. She held a second master’s degree achieved as a Fulbright Scholar. Lynn was a career English teacher and a lifelong student. She was the English Dept. Chairman at Homewood High School and taught AP English. She was Homewood and Alabama Teacher of the Year. She was an avid supporter of both men’s and women’s basketball at Homewood, showing up at school wearing a pair of Chuck Taylor High Tops on game days.
Lynn was Director of the Sunday School at St. James Episcopal in Warrenton, VA and active at The Episcopal Church of the Ascension after moving to Birmingham. Lynn “wore many hats” but her favorite was Mother. She was mother to Anne and Beth and countless troubled or lost students over the years. She had the ability to make students believe in themselves and made everybody around her better. Her influence on so many is confirmed by the hundreds of responses from former students, friends, neighbors and coworkers.
Lynn enjoyed the beach on Assateague Island with her family, friends, and a good book. She loved reading, traveling, her home, sports, and her two dogs. To say she will be missed is an understatement.
Reverend Emily Collette officiated Lynn’s funeral at The Episcopal Church of the Ascension on June 27. Readers were Bitsy Goldmeier of Greensboro, GA, Susan Doughton, Homewood, AL and Beth Wilkie, daughter. A second service officiated by Reverend Ashley Tackett-Evans was held on June 29 in the Chapel at Crescent Hill Cemetery in Scottsville, KY.
The family thanks Lynn’s dedicated caregivers allowing her to remain in her home and HOSPICE. Please direct any gifts of remembrance to The Episcopal Church of the Ascension on HOSPICE.
