Mid-career she transitioned to fund raising for nonprofit organizations. She retired from an international fund-raising consulting firm where she served a wide variety of clients. Lyn had a lifelong interest in hand weaving, having studied briefly in Norway and Denmark, as well as the Art Institute of Chicago and at classes of weaver’s guilds. She enjoyed classical music, gardening, and traveling to many places in Central and South America to see the weaving and enjoy the tropical environment. Her membership in the Society of Friends (Quaker) was a commitment she demonstrated in many forms of service. She has lived at Warm Hearth Village for 17 years. A memorial service will be held at Blacksburg Friends Meeting at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a contribution in her name may be made to Blacksburg Friends Meeting, P.O.
