Lynn Gray Burke, age 92, widow of Gerald Watson Burke, of Ewing, passed away peacefully on Monday, December 29, 2025, at Baptist Health in Lexington surrounded by her family.

Lynn was born in Fleming County on November 4, 1933, to Roy Cooper and Alice Hood Gray.  She was a 1952 graduate of Fleming County High School, and she attended the University of Cincinnati.

Lynn was a homemaker, but in previous years had worked side by side with her husband as the owners of the local Sears Roebuck catalog store in Flemingsburg until they sold it in 1990.  At that time, Lynn opened her own floral design shop known as The Wash House, where she focused her energy and creativity on drying and arranging flowers for numerous families in the area.  Lynn was a member of the Ewing Christian Church, Fleming County Garden Club, Ewing Women's Club, and a devoted and long-time election poll worker in the Ewing precinct.  Her proudest recent moment was the opportunity to serve as the Grand Marshall for the 2025 Ewing-Fleming County Fair parade in Ewing.
