Before embarking on her journey as a beloved mother and grandmother, Mrs. Lynch led a fulfilling career. Her early days were spent at NCR in Millsboro, where she developed a strong work ethic until its closing. She then transitioned to Mountaire Poultry for twenty years, before retiring to dedicate more time to her family.
Mrs. Lynch wholeheartedly embraced life in Mt. Herman and later in Gumboro, DE, after marrying the late Paul (Pete) Lynch. She is predeceased by her parents and husband, as well as her sisters, Nancy Gordy and Gloria Donohue.

An avid cook and baker, Mrs. Lynch's brownies were legendary among those who knew her. She nurtured her sharp mind with crossword and word search puzzles and enjoyed the simple pleasures of attending auctions and yard sales. Above all, Mrs. Lynch's favorite role was engaging in the lives of her children and grandchildren and loving her “Sweetie”.
