Lakelynn Morgan Dye

Lakelynn Morgan Dye, 3 months old, of Nelsonville, passed away surrounded by family on February 26, 2026, at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.

Born on November 7, 2025, in Athens, Ohio, to Hannah Edinger and Justin Dye, and welcomed into the world with her godmother, Jolene McKee, by her side, she brought joy to all who knew her. With a growing love for The Octonauts, Lakelynn cherished snuggling with her “covid” bear and her dog, Link, and took pride in representing a bamboo business.

She is also cherished by honorary aunts and uncles Hailey Sands, Terra Lenigar, and Jake and Garrett Rutter; honorary grandmothers Barb McKee and Shonda Walker; and her friends Allack, David, Cruz, Maverick, and Donny.

Lakelynn was preceded in death by her grandmother, Rita Brengartner; her great‑grandmothers, Sharon Skaggs and Pamela Dye; her great‑grandfathers, Arbie “Bo” Skaggs and Burie Dye II; her aunt, Julie Dye; and her great‑uncle, Aaron Dye.

A funeral service will be held 7 p.m., Monday, March 9, 2026, in the Souers-Cardaras Funeral Home, 46 Fayette St., Nelsonville. Visitation will be held on Monday, from 5 p.m. until the time of the service.
