Lynn treasured her family and friends and embraced every moment with them. She shared words of encouragement, wisdom, and comfort to all who would listen.  She enjoyed reading her Bible, gardening, and watching cooking shows. She loved snowy winters and seeing her favorite bird, the cardinal, the state bird of Virginia.

Lynn started her career at the United States Postal Service in Chicago, Illinois. There, a handsome military man, Henry Griffin, caught her eye and won her heart. They soon united in holy matrimony, and Lynn happily became a military wife. Although the life of a military wife required frequent relocations, she had a fulfilling career that blessed her with many long-lasting friendships. She also worked for many years at the Department of Defense and several health care facilities.
