Legacy

Lynn graduated with a BA in Elementary Education from Glassboro State College. After which she devoted 39 years to teaching in the Mantua Township Public School system. She began her career at Centre City School and most recently taught third grade at J. Mason Tomlin School. Over nearly four decades in the classroom, she taught a variety of grade levels and was known for her patience, warmth, humor, and unwavering belief in her students. Lynn loved working with children and young adults alike, and her impact on the lives of the many students she taught will be remembered for years to come. Lynn was also actively involved in the teachers' association, NJEA, and continued her involvement after retiring through membership in NJREA.

A lifelong resident of Sewell, Mantua Twp., Lynn lived in the home her grandparents built in 1917, a place filled with history, memories, and deep family roots.

Her Catholic faith was a guiding force throughout her life. Lynn was a devoted member of her church community and found great comfort and strength in her faith. Her values of compassion, generosity, and service to others were reflected in the way she lived each day, and, in the care, she showed to those around her.

She was predeceased by her parents, Frank and Betty Clark, and her brother, Jim Clark. Lynn will be dearly missed by her family of close friends, who cherished her kindness and loyalty, as well as relatives on both her mother's and father's sides of the family, all of whom cherished her generous spirit. Lynn loved animals and also leaves behind her precious cat, Rosie, who was a beloved companion and brought her many years of great comfort and joy.

Outside the classroom, Lynn was involved in her community. She coached softball for many years in a local township league, encouraging young athletes and sharing her love of the game. She was also a devoted sports fan who faithfully cheered on the Phillies and the Eagles. In her free time, Lynn enjoyed reading, watching movies, and reflecting on the many years earlier in her life when she traveled extensively across the country, exploring and appreciating the diverse beauty of the United States.

Lynn will be remembered for her dedication to education, her enthusiasm for working with young people, her steadfast faith, and the kindness she extended to everyone she met. Her presence will be deeply missed, but the memories she created and the lives she touched will remain a lasting tribute to a life well lived.

"A great teacher leaves lessons that last a lifetime, and a true friend leaves love that lasts forever." Lynn did both, and her legacy will live on in the countless lives she touched and the devoted friends she leaves behind.
