A committed and passionate Unitarian, Lynn was a founding member of both Eliot Unitarian Chapel in Kirkwood and Thomas Jefferson Unitarian Fellowship in north St. Louis County. In retirement, she and her husband Jim worked tirelessly to advance the mission of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Greater Naples in Naples, Florida.

A believer in equality and social justice, Lynn was active for many years in Freedom of Residence.

A memorial service will be held to celebrate Lynn’s life at a date to be determined.
