Lynn M. (Reno) Faust, age 70, passed away on March 11, 2022 in Chisholm, MN at Heritage Manor Nursing Home surrounded by family.

Lynn, known to her friends as Reno, was born in Hibbing on February 28,1952 and attended Hibbing Public Schools. She graduated from Hibbing High school with honors in 1970 and moved to St. Cloud, MN where she met Fred Faust. They married June 5, 1971 at the Blessed Sacrament in Hibbing and later relocated to Kelly Lake, MN where they lived happily married for over 50 years.

While raising three sons, she graduated from Bemidji State University with a degree in Special Education and taught in the Itasca and St. Louis County School Districts helping disabled and less fortunate students.

Reno was a devoted hockey mom and loved watching MN Wild games. She was also a youth church group leader at St. Anne’s in Kelly Lake.

With her summers off, Reno loved camping with family and friends and spending time at Grandma’s cabin. She loved sewing, baking, birdwatching and traveling to visit her brothers in California.

Reno was a smart, loving, kind and patient woman. She cherished her family but especially loved her children and grandchildren.   She will be missed dearly by many.

She was preceded in death by her son Chris, brother Robert Stilinovich, parents William and Gladys Stilinovich and grandmother Sadie Sterle.

She is survived by her husband Fred, sons Micah, Barry (Amy), and Jesse, grandchildren Drew, Braden and Rance, and brothers Guy (Janice) Stilinovich, Michael Stilinovich, and William (Linda) Stilinovich.
