Lynn Ruth Langlois

With profound sadness and grief, we share the news of the death of Lynn R. Langlois, who died on March 13, 2026. She was sixty four years old.

Lynn was a passionate, caring, and an outgoing woman whose smile and personality was magnetic. She loved her family, friends, animals, gardening, supporting multiple charities, concerts, and traveling around the world. Her efforts through volunteering with veterans organizations, particularly making quilts for our veterans, touched the lives of so many retired United States service members. Lynn was generous and devoted to her family, very much the caretaker. She was the family member, neighbor, and friend you could count on. Often stray dogs and the dogs in her neighborhood would find their way to Lynn’s front door, where she fed them, loved them, and let them stay if they needed shelter.

Lynn was a lightening bolt of love; undeniably bright and stunning, someone you could laugh hard with. She will be missed each day, even her sometimes colorful expressions when something really annoyed her. Her many interests included learning about life, thrifting, concerts, flea markets, exploring the world and savoring different cultures, and any DIY project. Lynn spent more than 30-years as a yardmaster in the railroad industry who held her own in a challenging career.

One of six children born in Duchess County, New York, to Joan (Debyah) Langlois and Donald Langlois, where she learned valuable character and life lessons on the farm together with her siblings: Michael, Carol, Judy, (Lynn), Donald, and Elizabeth. She was blessed with a very large and extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and nieces and nephews.

Lynn lived in Sterling, OK, and in recent years moved to Fishkill, NY, where she shared her life with Chris Rucker and his sons Dylan and Brandon.

The Langlois family extends our heartfelt gratitude for the kindness, sympathy, and prayers expressed. Lynn would ask others to remember her by being generous and kind, by sharing a meal with laughter, enjoying a concert, and planting flowers in your garden.

A celebration of life service will be determined in the future. Memorials in her honor can be made to: The American Heart Association, sanctioned U.S. Veterans organizations, and your local Humane Society.

Until we meet again in the House of the Lord. “In your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalm 16:11.

Often, he would reminisce about the past and things he wished he did better or differently, but he always would say he did his best.

Growing up in Richfield, Minnesota it was often joked that his dad was in school more than he was. His siblings, Mary, Mike and Theresa ‘Taf’ (Dave) felt lucky to have a guy like him by their side growing up. He was described as an independent risk taker who would do anything for those close to him.

His summers were spent, with his siblings and cousins, at the family cabin, on Lake Belle Taine, in Nevis, MN. At the age of 17 he left home to join the army, moving south to Lawton, Oklahoma.

After proudly serving his country for three years he was discharged from the military and pursued a career in plumbing. He spent many years honing his plumbing abilities becoming a master plumber and opening his own business, Gup’s Plumbing. He mentored many up-and-coming plumbers throughout his long career.

While living in Oklahoma Gup had three children, Casey, Megan (Justin) and Thomas ‘T.J.’ and helped to raise his nephew Josh. He became ‘Papa Gup’ for the first time in 2000 to granddaughter McHale and again in 2010 to grandson Markaus. In 2004 Gup moved to Minnesota with Megan and Thomas ‘T.J.’ starting life in Nevis, Minnesota where he made many lifelong friends. In 2013 while plumbing in International Falls, MN, making more lifelong friends as he so often did, he met the love of his life Tina, whom he married on September 27,2019 gaining bonus children Jeff (Cansis) and Amanda (Chad), and bonus grandchildren Olivia, Emma, Jayde, Chloe, Piper, Miley, and another on the way, Gup enjoyed traveling. He and Tina went on many adventures together, from visiting family and friends in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Texas to Las Vegas, where they were married, to Nashville, New Orleans, Yellowstone, and so many other places. They were always on the go whether they were surprising someone with an impromptu visit, which they loved to do, or just out enjoying the sights.

He was a bright light in this world, always having a smile on his face and a story to tell. He touched many lives during his time, from his many nieces and nephews and other family members to the many friends he made along the way.

Gup was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas ‘Tom’ and Jeannine Frank, his sister-inlaw Jayne Frank, brother-in-law Mark ‘Chach’ Angus, and close friend Becca Gibitz.
