Lynn Richards Obituary

RICHARDS, Lynn Cutolo March 22, 1955 - October 3, 2007 We profoundly mourn the loss of Lynn Cutolo Richards, who died tragically and senselessly at the hands of her husband. She will be greatly missed. Her family and many friends were fortunate to have known such a warm, funny, and loving woman. She enjoyed life, had a remarkable wit, relished her long lasting and wonderful friendships, and had compassion for everyone she met. Lynn was a shining star in the lives of all who knew her. Lynn was born in Brooklyn, New York. At the young age of four, her family moved to New Jersey where she lived throughout her school years. Shortly after graduating from college, she moved to Southern California and lived there until 4 years ago when she relocated to Utah. Lynn was a devoted daughter to Peter and the late Kathryn Cutolo, a loving sister and an adoring aunt to her niece and nephews. She had beautiful friendships that have spanned decades. Her loss is felt from coast to coast. Our only comfort is that she is finally free.

Lynn was a beautiful human being, so full of love and life. She brought sunshine wherever she went. She was a bright light to which we were all drawn. She touched everyone in so many ways. She was fun to be around and I’ll always remember her smile, laughter, and sense of humor. Lynn valued her family and her friendships. She was always optimistic, upbeat, and an inspiration to all who knew her. She was able to adapt to any situation. She was tragically taken from us and our lives will never be the same. How will we be able to live the rest of our lives without her?

Shock and sadness doesn't even begin to cover my grief over this devastating news. Just learned about it yesterday. I grew up next door to Lynn's husband and met her several times during the past few years. I thought that she was a very caring and lovely person and I'm so saddened by this heartwrenching news. My prayers and sincere condolences,

Lynnie,
Well, what can I say? I have shared 29 years of friendship with you...single days, weddings, divorce,many many fun times with so much laughter, and a few tears along the way. Losing your Mom and my Dad within monthes of each other
was our saddest shared time. But, nothing could have prepared me for writing this note in YOUR obituary
guest book.
I have dozens of photos chronicling
our friendship over the years. I look at your sparkling brown eyes and beautiful smile and I believe that you will forever be happy, peaceful, and enjoying all that your next new life adventures bring. It's just really hard to let you go!
You have never missed any of our girls(gulls) week-end get togethers
over the years. I KNOW you will be "with" all of us in Florida as we celebrate your life that we were all so blessed to be a part of.

God bless you my dear friend.

I love and miss you.

Dear Cutolo Family,

We are so terribly saddened by your loss and we share your grief in losing Lynn in such a tragic way. Our whole family loved Lynn, especially our 11 year old son, Matthew, who knew and loved her as his teacher and friend. Lynn was a wonderful friend to me as well, and her memory will stay with our family forever.
With deepest sympathy,
Brad, Jennifer, Matthew and Katie Wilson

I had some fun conversations with Lynn when she would come in to get her hair done. She was so funny and she would go on and on about those gray hairs. She was great with my kids and i will miss her smile.

Lynne was quite simply a lovely woman. When she walked into a room, she brought such warmth, energy and light. We lost contact over the last few years, but I will always treasure my memories of her. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

Lynn and I worked together for approximately 20 wonderful years. We laughed everyday, we loved to work hard everyday for our clients. Through the good times and the bad times. Lynn & I loved each other very much. We shared many many moments together in work and in play. Lynn was an honest, sincere and the most genuine person I've ever known. I think back over the years together and cannot believe she has unjustly been taken away from us. Life is just not fair to have taken such a good human being who loved life so much. I will always share the memory of Lynn with so many of her wonderful friends. Lynn's friends gave her strength and great happiness. She use to say how much she loved all of her friends over the years, and how grateful she was to share such friendships. We truly have lost a very special person.

God love and take care of you, Lynnie. You will alwys remain in our hearts.

My life is so much richer in innumerable ways for having known Lynnie nearly 25 years. While I grieve the tragedy of her death, I feel fortunate to be able to celebrate her life and the warmth and love she shared with so many of us.

Lynn was always quick with a laugh and a smile, and just as easily brought to tears by the sadness of others. Although she always cherished her many close friends, I hope she now sees how many lives she has deeply touched.

I've always loved her gentleness, her quick wit, her dedication to her family, friends and career (and of course to working out!), and her boundless energy, not to mention her amazing sense of style.

Cheers, Lynnie, until we meet again. I love you.
