She was my favorite person to watch on YouTube she was always like a second grandma to me and everytime she posted a new cooking video i would run to my mom and beg her to let me make it. She would always say no but nothing ever stopped me. Everytime she posted i would be so happy. One of my dreams were to meet her in real life but im really sad that i will never get to be able to accomplish that goal. She has made me so happy and when i was sad i would go watch her videos. It's been over 10 months since she has passed and her death still crosses my mind to this very day. Rip lynja -sending love from on of you biggest fans, sage may you rest in peace jynja

Lynja was a very energetic and funny person. Her cooking and content is on an elite level and just watching it puts a smile on your face. I feel like she died too soon and deserves better things. I cried for a whole day when I heard about this. She will be missed by millions. You may not be here on earth with us but you will most definitely be in our hearts Rest In Peace Lynja

So sad to hear of Lynn's passing. She was my manager for several years at Alcatel-Lucent/Bell Labs. She was an awesome leader and an even better friend. She will be greatly missed by friends and family. I have enjoyed "reconnecting" with her as Lynja on TikTok.
RIP Lynn

I remembered when I was six. I wanted to learn to cook. Lynja thought all of us how to cook. I wanted to first learn how to make Macaroni. My favourite memory is how Lynja was very energetic when I learned how to cook with her. I never actually had a moment with Lynja, I wanted to know how to cook. Lynja made me laugh when she threw food to her dog to eat. I will remember how Lynja cooked an tried all of her delicious food. I had a great experience cooking with her. I enjoyed learning to cook with her. The kitchen makes me remind about Lynja's amazing cooking! I learned cooking from her! It was amazing!

Her cooking videos and editing got me through the school year. She made me so happy and got me into cooking too. Even though she had cancer she acted like it wasnt there. She was a brave and kind soul and its sad to see her go like that. Goodbye lynja.

I know her as Lynja from social media. Looking through her accomplishments, I was so surprised to see her education and work history, but at the end of the day, I will remember her for making cooking videos online. Her energy is so calming and funny that it made me and many people feel happy. So something I learned from Lynn/Lynja was that being yourself is all that really matters because you effect people around you just by being you.

I was scrolling through YouTube shorts about a year or two ago and I saw one of her videos, then thought they were really cool so I binged them for like an hour or something. And while I was watching her videos it inspired me to start cooking again. I can tell that she was such an amazing person! We´ll all miss you Lynja!

I am so saddened and sorry to hear of lynn's passing.
Lynn and I worked together at Bell Laboratories in Holmdel.
Lynn was a part of the Holmdel Medical Aid squad and a member of the Holmdel First Aid squad.
I am a member of the Keyport First Aid squad and work at Robert Wood Johnson now.
Lynn and I would run into each other from time to time and so enjoy catching up on what was new in our lives.
Lynn was brilliant and funny and gracious and so humble and she generously shared her kindness with everyone.
I can't believe that my friend Lynn is gone from this world, it will be an emptier place without her.
I am sending my love and prayers for comfort and strength. You're her beautiful family.

OMG! I am saddened to read this. I worked with Lynn at Bell Labs for several years. She was a very smart person who was fun to work with. She often shared stories about her family and her time volunteering on the first aid squad. I had no idea and wish I knew she was such a social media star. My condolences to her family and husband
