Nancy Lynch Obituary

Nancy Marcella Koch Lynch passed away on February 11, 2023 at the age of 82. Nancy and her sister Martha were raised by Paul and Marcy Koch in Silver Lake, Ohio. Even after moving to the West Coast, she remained close to her family in Ohio and brought her children back to enjoy Silver Lake in the summertime. After graduating from Ohio State, Nancy taught for 9 years in Bermuda, Colorado, Washington and California. She loved children and taught almost every elementary grade. Nancy met her husband Brendan "Dan" Lynch on a blind date in Balboa Island and, after living in the Bay Area and Seattle, they raised two children in South Pasadena. Dan, her husband of 40 years, passed away in 2010. Nancy is survived by her children, Katey Murphy and Daniel Lynch, son-in-law Tim Murphy, daughter-in-law Lisa Lynch, and grandchildren Nathaniel and Tomas Murphy, and Audrey and Brendan Lynch. Donations may be made in Nancy Lynch's name to the Pasadena Humane Society.
