FERRARIS, Lynn S.

Lynn S. Ferraris, 55, of Boston, MA, passed away on Wednesday, September 18, 2013. Born on August 14, 1958 in Hartford, CT Lynn is the beloved daughter of Lorraine (Valliere) Ferraris and the late Richard Ferraris.

After graduating from Conard High School in West Hartford, CT, where she grew up, Lynn attended Northeastern University earning a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice. Lynn's passion was her work with the Massachusetts State Parole Board, a career to which she dedicated herself for 32 years. Until recently Lynn held the position of Chief Parole Supervisor - Transitional Services. In recognition of her exceptional performance and commitment to the agency, Lynn was awarded the Parole Board Chairman's Award in 2009. Lynn's other passions were her love of antiques, working on crafts and sewing projects, gathering for family holidays and spending time on Cape Cod. We love you, Lynn. Our hearts are with you forever.

Can´t believe it´s been 12 years since you left this plain and went to soar with the Angels! Bet you´re giving them a run for the money! I can still hear your laugh and snapping gum! Your presence will always be felt! Watch over us, we need it!!

One year ago today we lost a beautiful person much too early. Time has helped to soothe the pain but the void in my heart will linger forever. Lynnie, I miss you so.

After recently reading the Northeastern University Alumni Magazine, I was saddened by the news that Lynn had passed away.

My condolocences to the Ferraris Family for your loss. One of the higlights of my life was meeting Lynn at Norhteastern University. She had a gorgeous smile that could light up a room and this larger than life personality and a heart to match.

The one thing I learned about Lynn was that family was everything. She spoke frequently about her family and you could see the love she had for each sibbling when she talked about them. I always felt that she relished the role of big sister.

Anyway, we shared some laughs and a few beers along the way and she even introduced me to the music of Boz Scaggs, Loggins & Messina and Jackson Browne. And to this day, I can hear a song from anyone of thos artists and think about Lynn.

Although I lost touch with Lynn, after Northeatern University, I just felt compelled to tell you how glad I was to have known Lynn back in the day.

Know that your daughter, sister, and friend made a difference in this world. I know she touched my life and for that I am ever so grateful.

Rest in eternal peace my dear friend.

With deepest sympathy,
Harry

I met Lynn at my first IPO meeting 25 yrs. ago. Throughout the past 25 years we laughed, cried, argued, and boy did we ever party together!...She was by far the most loyal friend and colleague one could ask for..Professionally, the hardest working, most dedicated employee the Parole Board will ever experience. The Parole Board was a second family to Lynn. She touched many hearts and assisted many employees in their careers. Personally, she was the kindest, most generous and loyal friend one could ask for....You were taken from us far to early. I can only believe God had a bigger and better plan for you....Rest easy Lynnie, it is your shoes that can never be filled. There will forever be a hole in my heart.....Love, Marcia C.

Lynn, our loving and caring niece will be dearly missed. You made our Wedding Day complete by being our flower girl at the tender age of five. We will always cherish the special works of art you gave us and still showcase in our home and will miss that smile at family gatherings. God Bless you and rest in peace. We will always love and never forget you.

Lynn was an awesome person and a dedicated worker to Parole Board who just kept a handle on everything like the energizer bunny with so much energy and professionalism in every aspect of her position. She was also a daughter who was dedicated and loyal to the caring and love of her mother . Lynn was an amazing woman who left us early. To her family and friends we were blessed with the time we had with her. Our thoughts and prayer are with you and your family. Loved your smile and laughter. You will truly be missed. You were the best. May you rest in peace.
Love you, Doris & Chucky too.
