Her sister, Elaine is the last remaining sister of the four. After graduating, she met and married Sam Scharnhorst. In 1973 they had a daughter, Samantha. Lynda and Sam did a lot of traveling around the United States. It was around this time that she met her lifelong friend Jeanna Wing in Tahlequah.
