Pawleys Island……. On July 25, 2024, Lynda Carmen Buck, 77, of Pawleys Island, South Carolina, an incredible wife, mother, grandmother, and friend was called home to be with her Lord after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. Born December 5, 1946, in St. Petersburg, Florida, to Sue and Bob Marco, Lynda grew up as United States Air Force brat. She followed her father, an Air Force officer, and family around the world as he moved from assignment to assignment. Two of her more interesting experiences were living in Japan while in second and third grade and her early high school years in England. However, Lynda considered Valdosta, Georgia where she spent time in middle school and finished high school her hometown. Though she had not lived there since her early twenties, she remained close to friends in her high school graduating class throughout her life, rarely missing a reunion celebration. Lynda received her BA from Averett University Danville, Virginia and enjoyed a career at Mobil Oil Corporation as a paralegal until she retired when Mobil and Exxon merged. Lynda then went to work for good friends at Ketterman’s Jewelers in Leesburg, Virginia, retiring from there after 20 years. Lynda loved and cared for people. Whether relatives, friends, customers, or co-workers, she would rather spend her time in deep and transparent conversations with them than anything else. She was a confidant, encourager, and faithful friend too many. Lynda loved her Lord and Savior. She gave her heart to Jesus when a teenager, but truly met Him when she was a young woman and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. As she would tell people “I know that I know that I know!” Lynda followed God’s direction as she attended Catholic, Episcopal, Baptist, and Anglican churches. She had a special place in her heart for Africa where she participated in numerous Christian mission activities in Senegal and Zambia. Lynda is survived by those she loved with her whole heart and soul: her husband Peter; her children Scott Baran and his wife Jennifer, Jamie Buck and his wife Wendy, Cameron Evans and her husband Abe; her brother Bob Marco; and her grandchildren Tucker, Reilly, Abby, and Piper. Lynda was a faithful and active member of All Saints Anglican Church in Pawleys Island, South Carolina. A Celebration of Lynda’s Life will be held on Monday July 29, 2024, at 1:30 PM in the old church at All Saints Anglican Church, Pawleys Island. A Memorial Gathering will be held at 6:00 PM on Saturday, August 10, 2024, at the Ketterman Farm, 19690 Silcott Springs Rd, Purcellville, VA 20132 In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Every Orphans Hope, a wonderful Christian ministry in Zambia, Africa that Lynda loved.
