Lynn lived very close to my shop in Clayton and I called her a couple of times when we were working on reunions, but unfortunately I was never able to engage her in our activities. She has been on our mail and email lists for many years. I have known for awhile that she was not well, but not the nature of her illness. If any of you attended her Memorial Service, I'd love to post any comments you might care to make. Another of our classmates gone way too soon.
I was a spades partner in cards online with Lynn and was shocked when I saw this. She never mentioned any illness to me. Would someone let me know what she died from? Very sad to hear. She was such a nice person.

Thank you.
I was Lynn's cousin. She died from a long battle with COPD. She had a long and arduous battle that lasted over 8 years. She died in her home. Unfortunately her soul-mate Charles Darden of 32 years passed away a short six weeks later after suffering a stroke. I believe it was from a broken heart. He was truly devastated by Lynn's passing.
