April Lyne Partlow, a beloved caregiver and cherished friend, passed away on December 25, 2024, at the age of 55. Born on July 12, 1969, in Bowling Green, OH, April spent her life in a town that held a special place in her heart.
As a self-employed caregiver, she dedicated her time and energy to supporting those in need, working with Wood Lane School and Wood Lane Residential Services. Her compassion and kindness left a lasting impact on everyone she encountered.
April was a passionate traveler, with a particular love for the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. She attended every theater performance her daughter was a part of, which brought her a great amount of joy.
Introduced to SGI Nichiren Buddhism by her long-time friend Scott Finch, April embraced these teachings wholeheartedly and was a devoted member throughout her life.
She leaves behind her loving spouse, Candi Hulbert; her parents, Stephen (Mary) Partlow and Kathy (Tim) Sands; her two daughters, Harley Partlow and Delaine Adams; her brother, Eric Partlow; her sisters, Shannon Cramer, Sarah Smith, and Stephanie Partlow; and her best friend Lynn Pupik. She was preceded in death by her step-dad Dennis Wise Sr.
A memorial service to celebrate April’s life will be held at a later date.
