Obituary for Lynne Baca (Sears)
On March 16th, 2022, Lynne Marie (Sears) Baca of Torrington passed away after a brief illness at the age of 79. Lynne was born on September 5th, 1942 in Hartford and grew up in Canton.
Lynne left for California in the early 1960's, drawn by its bohemian vibe and to further explore her artistic self. Lynne was wonderfully eccentric and brilliantly creative, she made jewelry, was a hairdresser, and made a business of creating and selling ceramic pieces using the kiln in her home. She learned to belly dance and taught herself Arabic as she was fascinated by Egyptian culture. Lynne was a hippie in the truest sense and will be remembered as such.
She is survived by her nieces Kristen Gagnon-West Hartford, Rebecca Lynne Sears-Sarasota, FL, Jessica Sears-Thompson-Clinton, her former sister-in-law Joanne Leaf-Clinton, and numerous cousins. She was predeceased by her parents Alfred H. Sears and Arlene R. Sears and her brother Kent B. Sears.
A private family service will be held at a later date
