Lynne loved her brothers and sisters dearly. She cherished her nieces and nephews as if they were her own and always looked out for them with the special love that only she could give.

She attended Atlantic City High School, graduating in 1965, where she was voted "Most Popular" by her class. During high school, she joined a local singing group called "The Debs," who later recorded the single "I'm Gonna Miss You." After high school, Lynne worked for the Atlantic City Friends School and later for Bell Telephone. She eventually moved to Washington, D.C., before returning to Atlantic City in 1975. Lynne dedicated many years to the Atlantic City Recreation Department as a part-time recreation attendant and later worked at Schiff-Charney/Toshiba Data Solutions until her retirement in 2015. After retiring, she continued serving the community and began working part-time for the City of Atlantic City as a school crossing guard.

In 1975, Lynne began attending Second Baptist Church, was baptized on January 1, 1978, and went on to join the Inspirational Choral Ensemble.
