Miriam, or Lynn as she was most fondly known, was born on May 16, 1941, in Georgetown, South Carolina, to the late Clifford and Ozela Baxley. Lynn always said she was a “daddy’s girl” and she cherished the love she had with her family and siblings.

Lynn was a dedicated woman who worked as a secretary for 20 years with Floyd’s Auto Body, she also worked part time with J & L Cleaning for 25 years. Lynn’s love of animals, especially dogs, provided her with the opportunity to be a dog breeder which was a position she enjoyed for 10 years.

Lynn was a lifetime member of the Newport VFW Post 8986 where she was happy to be part of a community that support military veterans of foreign war. Lynn was also involved in the Red Hat Society where she enjoyed the opportunity to interact with old and new friends.

She is survived by her daughters, Salena Buckheister and husband Christopher of Eutawville, SC, Lisa Main and husband John of Newport, and Kelly Zunun and husband Limber of Summerville, SC; son, Larry Carrington and wife Lisa of Ridgeville, SC; 16 grandchildren; 29 great-grandchildren; 3 great-great-grandchildren; along with her special companion, Don Conley; and 4 legged children, Nakey and Marco.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her second husband, Glenn Westbury; third husband, Gary Godwin; sister, Aleitha Jacobs; and brothers, Sherman Baxley and Lander Baxley.
