On Friday, December 11, 2015 the angels in heaven rejoiced while welcoming Lynn Marie MacDonald home. Lynn was born May 27, 1965 to MaryEllen (LeGeyt) Blackman and Robert Barnes Blackman. She was the center of attraction and delight to her parents and four older brothers: Paul, Ralph, Joel and Bruce while growing up in Collinsville, CT. MaryEllen shared five short years with Lynn and family before losing her fight against cancer. Bob later married Alice Lipsky who was Lynn's loving mother for forty-five years. From 1986 to 1998 Lynn was married to David Cignatta and had three children: Amber, Jillian & Jonathan. On October 21, 1999, Lynn married Norman MacDonald who would prove to be her constant for the rest of her life. She is survived by her step-mother, Alice Blackman, and immediate family: husband, Norman and children: Amber, Greg and Zachary (grandson) Eng, Jillian, Joe and Lily (granddaughter) Drane and Jonathan and Courtney Cignatta. She is also survived by her six brothers: Paul and Venice Blackman, Ralph and Jean Blackman, Joel and Linda Blackman, Bruce and Judy Blackman, Mark and Kristin Blackman, and Jeff Lipsky and Kristy Skaar. A celebration of Lynn's life will be held on Saturday, January 30, 2016 at 1:00pm at Heritage Baptist Church, 161 South Whittlesey Avenue, Wallingford, CT 06492. Phone (203) 265-6320.

To The Cignatta, Blackman & Macdonald families: Please accept my deepest sympathies on the passing of dear Lynn. I remember Lynn from her association with Mary Kay. I watched her become so confident, enthusiastic and blossom into a wonderful leader. I will never forget her kindness and willingness to share her tips during our workshops. So glad that she found happiness in love and family. Many thanks for sharing Lynn with us and may your warm and loving memories of her live on. God Bless!

My heartfelt condolences go out to her family. I remember all the childhood things we did together. We had so much fun roaming through the woods behind her home that led to the elementary school and hanging out at one another's home and doing creative things together. I also remember the big grocery bag full of popcorn her mother would make and we would hang out in the living room eating it. I have thought about her many times over the years and tried to locate her at one point, but without success in reconnecting until someone we went to high school posted something on Facebook. I was shocked to hear she passed so early in life. My thoughts, love, and prayers go out to the family. May she rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear of Lynn's passing. I live in San Francisco now, but grew up in Canton. I met Lynn in 4th grade, and we spent lots of time together for a couple of years. We spent a lot of time at each other's houses. I remember she did beautiful paper quilling work -- which must have taken a lot of patience and delicacy, especially for a 4th-grader! I remember her as kind, thoughtful and very gentle -- we were both quite shy, but we had a good time playing and we laughed a lot together. I always smile when I remember her. My sincere condolences to her family and friends. Thank you for making this space available for people to share their memories.

I was saddened when I received a text telling me of Lynn's passing. If I had known sooner I would have came to the memorial tomorrow, but I am in SC. My prayers are with you Norm,Amber,Jillian,Jonathan & family for the loss of one of the sweetest woman I
ever met and worked for. Our kids started at Heritage together. Stay grounded in the Lord, he will bring you through. We will see her again. I love you all.

I am sorry for the loss of Lynn. I met her at Robert and Alice's anniversary several years ago. Her mother Mary Ellen and my Mother Bernice Legeyt Gallup were first cousins and thought the world of each other. Lynn will be reunited with her Mother, Father and Aunt Catherine Dodd.
May all of you find comfort in the many memories that you hold in your minds and hearts.
