Lynn Douglass
Lynn was our shop mother and her importance to our shop cannot be measured. Danny and Lynn bought the store in 1984 and worked side by side for nearly 40 years as husband and wife. She's responsible for the shop's decor, and did a lot behind the scenes for the shop. Her greatest passions were her family, animals, and her love of horses. She was a college basketball player who never lost her competitive streak. We lost her in 2023 and miss her everyday. She was a mother and grandmother and left her impact on everyone who met her.
