LYNN BROUNTAS Obituary

BROUNTAS, Lynn Thurston Of Weston and Chatham, died peacefully at age 83 on Monday, March 22, 2021. She was the loving wife of the late Paul P. Brountas, to whom she was married for 54 years. She was the devoted and endlessly beloved mother of Paul P. Brountas, Jr. of Waltham, Jennifer V.W. Brountas of Boston, and Barrett Brountas and husband Christopher Biddle of Wayland. She also leaves the absolute lights of her life's third act, grandchildren Asher N. Biddle and Penelope G.M. Biddle of Wayland. Lynn graduated from Smith College in 1959, then moved to Boston where she met her husband. In 1965, she and Paul moved to Weston where she raised her family and began a lifetime of volunteering for programs in which she deeply believed, such as METCO and the League of Women Voters. She was an avid reader, an enthusiastic traveler, an infinitely energetic gardener, a fierce tennis player, and a friend and surrogate mother to many. She will be truly missed. Funeral Services will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be sent to The Alzheimer's Association at act.alz.org Arrangements entrusted to the care of the John C. Bryant Funeral Home of WAYLAND. For condolences, please visit www.johncbryantfuneralhome.com

Dear Jen and family, sorry to hear of the passing of your mom; she was the Energizer Bunny. I loved her spunk and energy and she was truly one of my favorites since first grade. In recent years, we used to enjoy teasing each other when we saw each other. She has left an indelible memory for which I am truly grateful.
