Lynnette Renaudin Bouck, age 66, of Branson, Missouri, passed away on Wednesday, April 22^nd, 2026, with loved ones in St. Peters, Missouri.  She was born on May 8, 1959, to Richard Jean and Annette (Thomson) Renaudin (now Ensley) in Clay Como, Missouri.

Lynn was successful in every occupation throughout her adult life.  After graduating from Ruskin High School, she began work as an assistant in an assisted living facility in southern Kansas City.  She later worked in banking and loan origination for several banks in the Kansas City area and later in Arkansas.  Eventually, she retired after twenty years as a legal secretary from the firm of Franke, Schultz, and Mullen in Kansas City.

On October 24, 1997, Lynn married the love of her life, James “Jim” Bouck.  Jim and Lynn had been friends for twenty years before starting their life together.  It was a relationship of patience, kindness, and compassion that they had never known apart from each other.  Together, they retired to Branson, where they enjoyed all that the town had to offer, while traveling from time to time to visit family and their grandchildren.

Lynn’s faith in Jesus strengthened later in life, inspiring those around her.  She never wanted the fun to end.  She loved to bring people together so they could experience each other’s creativity and spirit.  This was true through her last days on earth.

Lynn was a light to this world.  She brought joy to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.  She was a uniter and always the life of the party.  She loved to enjoy a few “brewskis” with family and friends around a campfire, on the beach, on a boat, or around the dinner table.  She was a huge fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals.  She enjoyed floating the rivers of southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, RVing in Florida, and visiting the beaches of the United States and Mexico around the Gulf of America.

Lynn was incredibly talented as an artist throughout her life.  She was a photographer who beautifully documented her friends and family to preserve memories that could be relived in the pages of the books that she made and gave as gifts.  She was also an amazing painter with a diverse palette and style.  She created many works, merging surrealism, art deco, and impressionism.  Regardless of genre, her paintings were always whimsical, bright, and full of life, just like her.

Lynn is preceded in death by her father, Richard Jean Renaudin, and her husband, Jim Bouck.  She is survived by her mother and stepfather, Annette and Jack Ensley, of Union, Missouri; sisters, Renee Miller of St. Claire, Missouri, and Sheila Jonas (Darrell) of Garrettson, South Dakota; stepsons Jason Bouck (Erika) of Destin, Florida, and Joshua Bouck (Amy) of Austin, Texas; and her grandchildren Zoe, Lindsey, Ashley, and Austin Bouck.
