Marine
and
Lynn has been associated with the Marines since 1968. Married to a carrier Marine
who was a Vietnam and Desert Storm Veteran. She has four adopted sons that all
served and are now retired.She also has Grandsons in the Marines. She hopes that
her experience and knowledge of the Marines will help support the grandparents that
are new to the Marine Corps Family.
Lynn is originally from Newport Beach, California. She and her family spent many
years at Camp Pendleton until they became stationed at 29 Palms. She worked as
a Building Engineer for 30 years, along with other administrative jobs
as they moved to different duty stations. Lynn and her family settled in the Kansas
City area in 1987 where they were stationed, until her husband retired in 1993. She
now lives in Missouri. She has four daughters and four adopted sons. Many grand
and great grandchildren. She is retired now except for a long arm quilting business
in her home.
Lynn became associated with the MarineParents Facebook site when her
grandsons enlisted almost four years ago. Her late husband always felt it was
important to be a mentor to the young Marines that he was stationed with where
ever they went. As a result she has many Marine sons and daughters stationed all
over the world in which she still keeps in touch. Lynn felt it was important to keep
up her husband's tradition of mentoring the young Marines. She feels that being
involved with the various MarineParents Facebook groups for Marine Families and
MarineParents Community Relations is her way of doing that. She hopes that she
will be able to give them an understanding and appreciation of the Marine Corps,
and the support they may need during their journey.
