Lynn was a remarkable woman whose spirit shone brightly in the hearts of her family and friends. With an unwavering passion for life, Lynn took immense joy in quilting, a craft that allowed her to express her creativity while enriching the lives of those around her with her beautifully crafted pieces. Lynn's heart was a treasure trove of love for her family. She was not just a mother, but a devoted grandmother and great-grandmother, who was affectionately known as "Granny." The light in her life shone brightest in the laughter and hugs shared with her grandchildren, who were the pride of her existence. Lynn's legacy is one of unwavering love and support, and she nurtured her family with the same care and artistry she poured into her quilting.

She was also a self-taught pianist, filling the air with melodies that resonated with warmth and affection. Her home was adorned with her beloved collection of beautiful teapots, each telling its own story, much like the many travels Lynn took throughout her life, particularly enjoying the serene beauty of the beach.
