Lynn's obituary

Nancy ‘Lynn’ Coughlin, age 64, passed away peacefully while surrounded by her family on November 26, 2020 after a short battle with cancer. She was born on September 1, 1956 in New Haven, CT to the late James U. Sweeney, Jr and Nancy Mettler Sweeney. Lynn was a lifelong resident of Hamden, CT before recently moving to Florida.

Lynn loved the beach, shopping, and family vacations to Aruba with her family. She also loved hosting Sunday dinners for her family and holiday parties for friends and family. Always the life of the party, she celebrated life to its fullest.
Lynn is survived by her daughters, Dana and Michelle Coughlin; her son, Michael Coughlin; her grandson, Theo, and her former husband and longtime high school sweetheart, Daniel Coughlin; her three sisters, Patty Carey, Debra Mailloux and Kathryn Murphy; and her brother James U. Sweeney, III (Imelda Doran).

Friends and family are invited to attend a memorial gathering in honor of Lynn on Monday, December 7, 2020 from 11:00am-12:00pm at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish, 2819 Whitney Avenue, Hamden, CT 06518.
