Lynette Ann Markel, 64, died Dec. 24, 2025 at Hutchinson.

She was born Sept. 1, 1961, at Wichita, Kansas the daughter of Raymond and Phyllis (Geubelle) Lubbers. She grew up in the St. Joe Ost community where she attended grade school, then later graduated from Andale High. On Nov. 30, 1985, a cold and icy day, she married Daryl Markel at St. Joe-Ost, Kansas. They moved to Pretty Prairie in 1992 where they raised their kids and spent the rest of their time together.

Lynette was sort of a jack of all trades as she was a former Dental Assistant, a Medical Records clerk, babysitter, stay at home mom, and Para-professional for several surrounding school districts. Later in life, she followed and helped Daryl and Tony with their family business while also getting to be a full-time grandma.

Lynette was a very giving person and liked to volunteer her time helping others. She was a member of the St. Rose Catholic Church and the Altar Society, both at Mt. Vernon. She also taught PSR, participated in bible study and volunteered at the Lord’s Diner. Her time and commitment has had a lasting impact on others. She continued to give even up to the end by being an organ donor and blessing the lives of others.

Lynette is survived by her husband Daryl, her son Tony Markel and his wife Julie; daughter Andrea Hastings and her husband Cody; sisters Lesa (Perry) Maus and Lavina (Shawn) Telford; and grandchildren Kenna and Kimber Markel, Eli, Ezra, and Eliana Hastings.
