She was predeceased by her daughter Kelly in 2000. She also leaves her grandchildren Rebecca Rebeiro, Rachel Bergeron, Russell Mansfield, Megen Latour, Thea Fernandez and Aiden Fernandez, her sisters Maureen O’Leary, Erin Pryor, Shannon O’Leary, brothers Brian O’Leary, Kevin O’Leary, and Christopher O’Leary, 6 great grandchildren and her sisters-in-law Anna May Casagrande and Margaret McAdam and brother-in-law Dennis Mansfield. The funeral mass will be held at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Palmer on Tuesday, February 20, 2024 at 11 a.m. The family requests that the burial services be held privately at St. Thomas Cemetery. If so desired, donations in Lynn’s memory may be made to the Salvation Army, which held a special place in her heart. The family would like to thank the staff at the East Longmeadow Skilled Nursing Center for their compassion and exceptional care. The New England Funeral & Cremation Center, 25 Mill Street, Springfield, MA has been entrusted with the arrangements. Please visit Lynn's memorial page at www.nefcc.net for expressions of sympathy.
