So sorry to hear of the lovely Lyn’s passing, she was a delightful lady who had the knack of having time for everyone in the room wherever she was. I worked with Lyn some years ago and she was an integral part of everything good and positive that happened. A great organiser, hugely respected and probably relied upon too much as she would always be there to help. She really was a unique and wonderfully warm lady who always had that smile that exuded kindness.
Rest in peace Lyn.

It was with great sadness that I heard of Lyn's passing.❤️

I had the privilege of knowing Lyn and also working alongside her husband, Robin at Cardiff Uni. She was always such a kind, warm and caring person, with a smile that made others feel welcome.

My heartfelt condolences go to Robin, their family and all who knew and loved her. May you find strength in the precious memories you shared together, and may Lyn's beautiful soul rest in peace.
🤍
