Lynn Ilene Foster Kuchenbrod, 52, passed away peacefully in her sleep on October 7, 2024, at her home in Centreville, Virginia.

Lynn was born on November 10, 1971, in Johnson City, New York, to Joan (Folmsbee) and Richard Foster, along with her twin sister. In 1980, her family relocated to what was the small town of Round Rock, Texas, where she graduated from Round Rock High School. Lynn attended University of Texas at San Antonio before earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition from The University of Texas at Austin in 1995. She later moved to Lexington, Kentucky, to pursue further studies in Nutrition at the University of Kentucky. However, her interests shifted towards Clinical Laboratory Sciences.

At the Newman Center Catholic Church, Lynn met her future husband, John Kuchenbrod. The couple married at the Newman Center in 1997 and enjoyed 27 years together in holy matrimony. In 1999, Lynn earned a Bachelor of Health Sciences degree from the University of Kentucky, and the pair began their careers in Abingdon, Virginia. In 2001, they relocated to Northern Virginia, where Lynn worked at the former Fairfax Medical Laboratories and later as a Laboratory Technician at Oakton-Vienna Veterinary Hospital.

Lynn and John welcomed their son, Matthias Kuchenbrod, in 2006. While enjoying motherhood, Lynn remained involved in various religious organizations, cared for their indoor cats, and appreciated wildlife, especially when they interacted through the windows with the cats.
