A lifelong learner, she was a student at the University of Southern California, Boston University, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Museum School Boston. She received her Bachelors in speech from Staley College, 1959.

From 1976-1984, Lynn served as the executive director of Boston’s prestigious Copley Society. One of Lynn's greatest passions was painting. Lynn loved the expressive quality of watercolors and painting in the plein air during her travels around the world. She felt that “painters were philosophers, psychologists, mathematicians, chemists, scientists and poets" and lived her life this way. Lynn went on to become an accomplished artist and teacher. Lynn taught painting in Rockport, Ma and Naples, Fl, as well on the maiden voyage of the Queen Mary 2, World Cruise, Queen Elizabeth and European Tour, Royal Princess. She studied and painted all over the world, but one of her fondest memories was painting in Monet’s garden.

She is a published author with several books on painting and memoir of her life with Jungle Jim and her experience as a "Celtic Wife."

Those who knew her knew loved her, they knew she was exciting, interesting, and never dull. Fun and full of life and love.
