26 August 1952 - 22nd October 2025
Passed away surrounded by sister, daughter, son and husband at Palmerston North Hospital from the effects of interstitial lung disease; finally being at peace, but gone far too soon. She was a kind and gentle spirit; a mother to Evelyn and Edward, a grandmother to Emira, a mother-in-law to Dorothy, a sister to June and a wife of 49 years to Paul. She left her mark on the world as a teacher, a volunteer with refugees and the Red Cross and in her younger days as a champion baton twirler. A memorial service will be held later this year. Following her wishes her ashes are to be scattered in her beloved Hawaii. Messages for Lynn's family can be left at:

"a hui hou" (until we meet again)
