Sad to hear this news, Lynn was a pretty lady and I enjoy watching her in those season 5 episodes of Hazel. She was a good addition to the cast after the departure of Whitney Blake. R.I.P. Lynn Borden.

Antenna TV has run a little memorial frame with her years of birth & death. I'm glad they've acknowledged the loss of this lady.

I was noticing that Lynn's mom died just under a dozen years ago (lived into her 90s). Lynn would have turned 78 later this month.

RIP Lynn Borden. This now leaves Ray Fulmer and Julia Benjamin as the only surviving cast members of Hazel.

I'm so shocked by this news. She was such a fun new character in Season 5. Loved her.

I watch Hazel several times a week and strangely enough I had just started watching season 5 at the same time as Mrs. B the 2nd past on. I wonder if she's remodeling her new house in Heaven (she and Steve Baxter remodeled each house they moved to). She was a nice lady with nothing but good things to say about her fellow cast members, Goodbye good lady :(
