Lynette Hose worked with the Vincennes, Indiana, quiz teams from 2000-14.

During this time, from 2002-14, she served as the volunteer nurse for the National Bible Quiz Finals. She attended her final nationals in 2015, but was unable to serve as the nurse.

Lynette worked closely with the Vincennes quizzers helping them memorize, listening to them quote, keeping time for practice quizzes and encouraging them to stay motivated and keep doing their best. She started when her sons, David and Jonathan began their quiz careers and even continued after they graduated. She was a great encouragement.

During Lynette’s long hospital and nursing home stays, David, her oldest son, read the entire New Testament to Lynette, but he read Philippians four times, as this was one of her favorite portions of the Bible and she asked him to repeat it.

Lynette was determined to discipline herself into the character of Christ. She most certainly noticed that some of hallmarks of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the servants at Philippi were thanksgiving, joy and encouragement. She demonstrated this same attitude as that of Christ Jesus.

Lynette poured her life into serving Christ in her family, church, nursing, community, country, friends, and Bible Quizzing until her health failed.

Lynette’s family offers their utmost gratitude for this thoughtful and fitting honor and tribute.

As she would repeat and sing often, “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice” Philippians 4:4
