Oh my gosh. I just found out a few hours ago that Ms. Lynch passed away last month. My heart just ripped completely apart after hearing this. I was a student of hers at TCI a few years back. She was such an amazing woman/teacher.
🥺😩May you Rest In Peace Ms. Lynch😩🥺

Wow! My heart is so very heavy. Gloria was my friend and Spiritual Director for over 20 years. Someone said before that grief is live that can’t be shared. 

I will miss you Gloria so very much. 
Your other 8.

Grief, I've learned, is really just love.  It's all the love you want to give, but cannot.  All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest.  Grief is just love with no place to go.  I love you Gloria.  Until we meet again...

It is with deep sorrow that I say goodbye to Miss Gloria Lynch.
I feel truly fortunate to have known her, to have been her friend, and to have learned from such a remarkable person.
Miss Lynch was a bright, kind, and generous soul, whose wisdom, dedication, and compassion touched everyone around her.
Her light, her values, and the memories she left us with will forever remain in my heart.
Rest in Peace, Miss Lynch 🙏🤍

The most smartest most beautiful person I will ever met ❤️

Gloria has been my favorite hair client for a few years now! She always loved having her signature purple stripe in her hair and she was the only one I went to go pick up to bring to the salon because we both had a fondness for the same kind of music. She was always such a delight and kind person to be around and she will always be missed by Hair Friends and myself!

We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Professor Gloria S. Lynch. She was an extraordinary teacher who not only shared her vast knowledge of opticianry, but also inspired a deep respect for the profession and its impact on people’s lives. Through her guidance, we learned the true importance of precision, empathy, and dedication in helping others see the world more clearly. Beyond the classroom, she shared invaluable life lessons about integrity, perseverance, and kindness that we will carry with us always. The laughter and the jokes we shared will forever be imbedded in our hearts. Our heartfelt condolences go out to her family, her influence will forever live on in the lives of her students. We love you Mrs. Lynch!!! 👓

My deepest condolences to the entire family, most of whom I knew well. I worked with "Glo" (and she DID glow!) for many years as a faculty member at Interboro Institute. We became fast friends, and also attended many optical events throughout the U.S. together. She was funny, brutally honest at times, and she gave her heart to all of her students. Along with her children and grandchildren, her best legacy is the phenomenal number of students who became licensed opticians under her tutelage, and that legacy will go on for years.

Miss ya Glo!
