Lyneen Cheeseman Blate, 79, of Elkader passed away at the University of Iowa Hospitals on February 21, 2020. Lyneen was born February 8, 1941, to Robert E and LaVon (Kruse) Cheeseman. Lynn was a graduate of the Central Community High School Class of 1958. She later earned her masters degree and taught for many years for the Florida school system.
Lynn loved the country life and upon retirement returned to Elkader in 1998, with her late husband, Larry, and together they enjoyed the many animals and the wildlife that took up residence on their farm. She especially loved sharing her array of horses, dogs, cats and burrows with all who visited.
Lyneen was preceded in death by her parents, husband and two rainbow babies. Per Lyneen’s wishes, Iowa Cremation of Cedar Rapids, is in charge of private services to be held later this year. Online condolences may be directed to the family at www.iowacremation.com under Obituaries.
