Dr. Lynn F. Cupkie, age 84 of Nisswa, MN and formerly of Perham, MN, passed away on Monday, September 22, 2025 at St. Joseph Medical Center in Brainerd, MN.

Lynn was born in St. Paul, MN on September 5, 1941, to Carl and Helen (Wurm) Cupkie. He completed high school in the St. Paul area and went on to further his education, completing his doctorate degree in psychology, becoming Dr. Lynn Frederick Cupkie.
