Lynne Bacon and transgender spouse Meredith Bacon shared 50 years of 'mutual devotion'

By Michael Kelly

When Lynne Bacon’s spouse transitioned 13 years ago from Wally to Meredith — from male to female — Lynne didn’t even think of leaving.

Last month the couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, and on Thursday friends will celebrate her life. She died Thursday from cancer at 72.

“She was caring, giving and sharing,” Meredith said, describing their nonconventional marriage as one of “mutual devotion.”

The funeral will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at All Saints Episcopal Church, 9302 Blondo St., where Lynne served as an ordained deacon. A Fulbright-Hays scholar who studied internationally, she taught French and Spanish for 31 years at Creighton Prep.
