Once the family settled in Revere, Lynn attended and graduated from Revere High School and remained a longtime Revere resident.

She had a special talent for drawing, and this skill led her to have a career in the graphic arts industry. She also worked for many years as a waitress at the New Bridge Café in Chelsea, a job she thoroughly enjoyed and where she made many friends over the years. Lynn enjoyed the simple pleasures in life and especially enjoyed listening to music with one of her favorite artists being Whitney Houston.

She is the beloved daughter of the late Robert J. Eriksen and Winifred A. (Wagstaff) Eriksen. Loving and longtime companion of Dante DeCain. Dear sister of Robert J. Eriksen, Jr. and his wife Jean of Weare, New Hampshire and Karen E. King and her husband Michael of Revere. Cherished aunt of Stephanie Amaral and her husband Manny, Michael King and his wife Lauren, Joshua Eriksen, John-Thomas Eriksen and Marissa Eriksen and the adored great aunt of Sean, D.J., Riley, Sophia, Isabella, Christopher and Lucas.
