Lynn loved to travel and took trips in the United States and Europe. She was extremely interested in astronomy and would research topics that caught her interest. Her love for nature lead her to actively support the raptor and wolf sanctuary programs in the Fort Collins area.
When not pursuing a trip or the stars, she watched her favorite TV shows with her cats Ember and Sophie by her side. Lynn lived life well…
