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.

Rest in peace.

She was great on Hazel. May she rest in peace.

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.

Hazel Anyday · 04-01-2015, 06:39 PM

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

I thought I would review the many losses of Hazel cast members -- starring, along with a couple of actors who appeared often:

1968: Howard Smith (Harvey Griffin), age 74
1968: Cathy Lewis (Deirdre Thompson), age 51
1974: Bobby Buntrock (Harold Baxter), age 21
1992: Shirley Booth (Hazel Burke), age 94
1993: Don DeFore (George Baxter), age 80
2002: Whitney Blake (Dorothy Baxter), age 76
2015: Lynn Borden (Barbara Baxter), age 77

The surviving cast members are Ray Fulmer (Steve Baxter), age 82, and Julia Benjamin (Susie Baxter), age 58.
