Lynn earned both her Bachelor of Architecture and Bachelor of Religious Studies from Iowa State University. Throughout her life, she faced numerous health challenges with resilience. After a courageous nine-year battle, she lost her life to breast cancer. Her beloved dog, Teddy, was a source of immense joy, comfort, and companionship during her journey.

She had a deep love for travel, always eager to explore new places, foods, and cultures. An exceptional bread maker and a devoted chai tea latte enthusiast, Lynn will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
