Lynnette Coney is a mother to three boys, ages four, eight, and 10. Lynnette grew up in foster care from 1992 to 2003, which endowed her with a strong sense of independence.
In 2014, Lynnette attended Manatee Technical College for a Patient Care Technician certification. From 2016 to 2018, she went to nursing school at Suncoast Technical College.
While enrolled in school and balancing her responsibilities as a single mother, she suffered the loss of her own mother. Nevertheless, Lynnette persevered and went on to pass the National Council Licensure Examination to be a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in January 2019.
She works as an LPN at Crossbreeze Care Center, and is a two-time member of her son’s daycare, Children First’s policy council.
