Lin was born on February 11, 1918 in Chicago, IL to John and Anna (Foltin) Gavlas.
She committed her life to her family and will be greatly missed by her children, sister, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Lin loved working, and retired from Lucent Technologies after 25 years of fulfilling service. Her work and club involvement enabled her to develop many lifetime loving friends. Lin especially enjoyed her family and friends at her Lake Wisconsin cottage and at her Colorado mountain cabin.
She was a member of the Pioneer Partners and Flatirons Gem and Mineral club. Lin enjoyed creating crafts, playing cards, camping and square dancing with her many friends.
