I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Lynn was such a kind and unassuming person and always had a sweet smile on her face.

Andy, I just learned of Lynn's passing from my sister. You and your daughter have our deepest sympathy. We both have fond memories of our time together as you and Lynn were grad assistants in Elementary and Secondary Education. Group gatherings at your apartment, laughing in the hallways of Godfrey, and many more things have come to mind, including the National Guard, since Pat told us. Being my first group of grad assistants, y'all certainly set a high standard for others to follow. We were unaware that she was having problems and will definitely keep y'all in our prayers in the coming days.

Andy, Marianna, Wanda, and Janet:

Peace be with you and all of the family.
I had the pleasure of being in the class of 1969 with Lynn at Hanahan High.

Like so many people who have lived, breathed, and touched by the Hanahan spirit, she was always a true giver and helper (as witnessed by her avocation and post retirement purpose driven life)!

She was such a sweet person, caring individual, and super Hanahanian!

All the best,

Gary

I remember when Lynn interviewed me for a job as a speech-language pathologist with the School District of Oconee County. I immediately felt welcomed and confident she would be a supportive administrator. I cannot even imagine the number of lives she touched in a positive way during her career. She will be missed.
