To Lynn’s family, Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your mom, grandma, sister and aunt. Lynn was a very special lady, we loved her dearly! She will will be missed by many. The seven years we worked together at ORION Scientific Systems were memorable! I can still hear her laughter and that giggle she would let out when she wanted to laugh at something she maybe felt, she shouldn’t laugh at. I loved her sense of humor! Rest In Peace, Lynn! Keith & Arlene Kaminsky and family
I have many, many cherished memories of my cousin Lynn, some from childhood and some recent. She had a wonderful sense of humor (I can still hear that giggle in my head) and lived life to the fullest. My sympathies to Cheryl and Lynn, Barbara, and Tommy.
I had the pleasure of working with Lynn at Orion, and she was the soul of our Tyson’s office. Her sense of humor and hard work were always on display!
I just learned of Lynn’s passing and wanted to leave my heartfelt and sincere condolences for her family. We worked together during my time at Orion Scientific Systems and she was truly loved by all of us. She took care of all of us in so many ways; I know she took care of me. I could call her and get advice, share concerns and laugh about life. She always made the time for me, my wife and 3 little boys at the time during their visits to the office in Tyson’s Corner. She is the source of many fond memories and will be missed.
Lynn was an integral part of the ORION team, and even after all these years, her passing leaves a hole in our hearts and souls that can never be filled: – Some of my very best ORION memories are of Lynn and her indomitable good nature. May her soul be bound up in the bonds of everlasting life, and her memory be a blessing for us all. (Ed) – She was always a bright spot and great person to work with. (Phil) – Lynn was such a wonderful soul and genuinely cared about everyone…the heart of ORION. Rest in peace Lynn. (Jim R.) – Lynn was the glue that held ORION together for the first few years! She’d stand up to anybody!! (Tim) – Lynn was a marvelous person and she cared for all of us and ORION deeply. (Jim M) – Lynn kept us together in so many ways, and even in sad news brings us back together. She was a bright soul. (Charlie) – I have nothing but good memories of Lynn, what a personality. (Phil) – Lynn definitely helped me out a lot when I started with ORION. She always had a funny story or two to tell me. She held her own (maybe even ran it all) in an office that was pretty much men for the first couple of years. (Stacy) – …her faith had grown and she was confident in her Lord and she was at peace. (Mike) Let Lynn’s legacy continue to shine – always remember who and what is important. Lynn, you will be sorely missed, and may your memory continue to spread happiness and good will, here and in the hereafter.
I am very sorry to hear of Lynn’s passing. She was a valued member of the ORION team and she provided great support to the team and to all our clients over many years. I wish her peace and I send my best wishes to her family!
Lynn and I worked together at Orion for many years. She was relentlessly cheerful and always helpful. A fine friend and lunch companion. My sincere condolences to her family for the loss of this lovely woman.
