Lynn was born in Bridgeport on May 22, 1957 to William and Carol Brown of Sandy Hook. After raising her children in several states throughout the country, Lynn came back to her hometown and the place she loved, where she met the love of her life and partner of 19 years, Ronald Shimko. They cherished the views from their home on Lake Zoar and loved kayaking, listening to music, and taking car rides around the state that they both held so dear to their heart.

Lynn was employed as a billing coordinator for 19 years at OrthoConnecticut. All who knew Lynn loved her positivity, kindness, fun storytelling, and devoted friendship. You could always count on Lynn to bring life to any party.
