Lynn Mary Kraftson

Lynn Mary Kraftson (nee Wagner), aged 71, passed away peacefully in Vienna, VA on December 5, 2023, surrounded by her loving family. Lynn was born on May 4, 1952, in Delaware County, PA, and was thecherished first child of Charles and Eleanor Wagner (nee Jeffries). She grew up in Newtown Square, PA and graduated from Marple Newtown High School in 1970. Lynn went on to earn a degree in education
from Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL, in 1974.

Lynn and Dan were high school sweethearts and were married in 1972. She taught elementary school while putting Dan through law school but, when Todd was born, became a full-time homemaker. Shecreated a warm and loving home for Dan and her four sons. She returned to teaching part time on a volunteer basis for several years after her sons were grown. She was a talented decorator and loved toexpress her creativity and love of colors through her quilting hobby.

Lynn received Christ as her Savior at a young age, became a committed follower of Christ as a teenager, and continued to follow him faithfully throughout her life. She had a passion for studying the Bible and she made it a daily practice throughout her adult life until her atypical Parkinsonism took away her ability to do so. She also led and participated in numerous Bible studies in her home and in the church,
developing close friendships with the women who attended those studies.

Lynn was a beautiful woman inside and out. Her beauty radiated from within, captivating her extensive circle of friends who were drawn to her authenticity, transparency, and compassionate nature. She found great joy in her role as “Gram” to her ten wonderful grandchildren whom she loved deeply – Abby, Kate, Keira, Alaina, Andrew, Evan, Lucas, Gavin, Hudson, and Beckett.

She is survived by her beloved husband Dan, her four sons – Todd (and Allison), Jeffrey (and Emily), Brett (and Megan), and Cory – her sister Joan Ball, her brother Charles Wagner, and her ten grandchildren. Dan and the family are forever grateful for the devoted, loving, tender care given to Lynn during her long illness by Keisha Service Hall, Claudia Weekes, and Beth LaRose.
