Verlynn "Lynn" Carter Frost, 88, passed away peacefully on Friday, August 5, 2022 at Thornapple Manor in Hastings, MI. Born in Raleigh, NC on November 26, 1933 to Linton "Nick" and Verlynn "Bynn" Carter, Lynn grew up in NC and then East Lansing, MI where she graduated from high school. After graduating from the last class of Michigan State College (now MSU) with a degree in Home Economics, Lynn married the love of her life, Barry Frost, and started a career as a high school teacher. As children arrived, Lynn went back and forth between teaching (either full time or as a substitute) and being a great mother. Having a spirited and adventurous heart herself, she encouraged and trained her children well when she saw those same traits in them. Even though they moved several times, Lynn was always active in her church: leading the women's ministry bazaar, teaching Sunday school, providing food for others in need or heading up the prayer chain. An avid reader, Lynn was known to read historical novels, especially with a map on her lap. Lynn also enjoyed swimming, cooking, baking, gardening and knitting.


Lynn was preceded in death by her husband of 63 years, Barry Frost; her parents; her stepmother, Marian Carter; her sisters, Ellen Ringle and Jeanne Chadderdon; her sister-in-law, Carolyn VanSchoick, brothers-in-law, John VanSchoick, Robert "Bob" Ringle and John Chadderdon. She is survived by her son, Eric Frost (Debra) of Battle Creek, MI; son, Brian Frost (Susan) of Mt. Juliet, TN; daughter, Sarah Frost of Holland, MI; son, Barry Frost III (Christine) of Niles, MI; grandchildren Caleb Mason (Nicole), Michal Mason, Amanda Ulman (Tim), Charity Schwartz (Michael), Drew Frost (Faith), Anna Harmon (Trever), Megan Frost, Kara Frost and Gedeon Frost; great grandchildren Ella Bishop, Elliot Ulman, Varrick Ulman, Declan Schwartz, Talia Schwartz; nieces, nephews and many friends.
