In 2010 Lynn traveled with her job from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Toledo, Ohio. This move, along with her honesty, trustworthiness, and knowledge placed Lynn in a position to maintain leadership roles throughout her career.

In her spare time Lynn enjoyed her smoke, basketball, reading, gambling and traveling. One of Lynn's most admirable qualities was her loyalty. Her long lasting friendships are evidence of this. In addition to being loyal, she was extremely funny and known for her brutal, yet caring honesty.
