Lynne Antoinette March
September 5, 1942 - May 6, 2025
Lynne March, a vibrant and cherished soul, passed away peacefully May 6th, leaving behind a legacy painted with love, loyalty, and connection. For 61 years, she shared an unbreakable bond with her devoted husband and best friend, John, creating a masterpiece of a life together.
Lynne approached the world as her canvas, each moment full of warmth and creativity. An independent and accomplished woman, she found joy in collaboration, always ready to listen, counsel, and uplift those around her. Her friendships were marked by unwavering loyalty, and to know her was to be touched by her boundless compassion and grace. She was born in San Francisco, but grew up in Sacramento and attended local schools in the Land Park area.
She was an Interior Designer and was involved in many local clubs and charities. In 1994, Lynne and John moved to Pacific Grove where she worked as a travel agent and was a volunteer at the Monterey Bay Aquarium for almost 20 years.
She is survived by her loving husband, John; her sons, Chris and Andy; and her beloved grandchildren, who brought endless light to her life. She was the daughter of the late Harold and Mary Petois and the sister of the late Jay Petois. The family wants to give a special thanks for the loving and tender care she received from her caregivers during the final months of her life: Firuza, Mele, Lupe, and Kesaia.
Our appreciation also to the Hospice of the Central Coast through Montage Health. Gifts of remembrance may be given to the Alzheimer's Association, Monterey Bay Aquarium, or a charity of choice. Lynne’s spirit will forever live on in how we approach life, and will forever be cherished in our hearts.
Age at Death: 82
Cause of Death: Dementia/Alzheimers
Classmate City: Pacific Grove, CA

What can I say through my tears of heartbreak? Lynne was a very close friend since we met in Jobs Daughters in junior high, even though we did not go to the same schools. Our close friendship continued when we came together at McClatchy in our sophomore year, and that close friendship lasted a lifetime up until I last talked to her when she was on Hospice just before her passing. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding, and our husbands got along famously which resulted in many get-togethers over the years, even though we lived in different cities. Lynne and John traveled from Pacific Grove to our 50th Wedding Celebration 12 years ago in Newport Beach. Her obituary is beautiful and so accurate as to who she was and the gifts of caring relationships she left behind. Lynne was a true friend and an amazing person. She will always have a special place in my heart, and I will always smile when I think about the many memories of the years of shared experiences we had together. Walt and I have sent our deepest sympathies to John and Lynne's family for their loss ... which is our loss too. Rest in peace, dearest Lynne. Thank you for being my wonderful lifelong friend. Love, Carol Misterly Boice
