Lynn Mary Holzer, a lifelong resident of Grafton, peacefully passed away in the evening hours of Sunday, February 2, 2025, at Lawlis Family Hospice in Mequon. She was 78 years old.

Lynn was born in Port Washington on March 17, 1946, the eldest daughter of Robert and Marvelle (nee Hilgart) Eernisse. She grew up in Grafton and attended St. Joseph Catholic School, and later Grafton High School, where she graduated with the class of 1964. After high school, Lynn attended the Milwaukee School of Cosmetology, graduating in 1966.

Lynn was the owner and operator of her own hair salon in Grafton, Lynn Mary & Co., until her retirement in 2014. She brought joy to countless clients over the years. Lynn was known for her warm heart, immense talents, and the welcoming atmosphere she created in her salon. Lynn enjoyed helping the Grafton High School doing hair for the high school musicals for many years.

Beyond her work, she was an avid reader who always had her nose in a book, enjoyed family history, attending her grandchildren's events, and she loved a good game of bowling in her younger years.

Lynn was also deeply involved in her community, proudly serving as a member of the Saukville Police Reserves, the Grafton American Legion Auxiliary and the Grafton Fire Department Auxiliary.
