Lynelle Horikami

Lynelle Horikami was born in Kailua, Hawaii. Raised in the Catholic faith, she gained an interest in The Book of Mormon because she had a teen crush on Donny Osmond. Later, during her college years at The University of Hawaii, she learned that if you enrolled in a class at the LDS Institute of Religion, you’d get free, prime campus-parking and free lunches on Fridays! She immediately registered for the Celestial Marriage class, got baptized, fell in love (not with Donny, but David 😊), earned her degree in Secretarial Science, served in the Ecuador-Quito Mission, married David in the Hawaii Temple, and raised nine beautiful children in Flower Mound, Texas.

Following thirty-six years of full-time motherhood, Lyn now works as a medical assistant at DFW Endocrinology and is a BYU Pathway student. Currently, Lyn enjoys the good life of serving in church callings (favorite: seminary teacher), as well as biking, hiking, camping, kayaking and fishing with David, their children, and grandchildren.
