Lynn and Chuck were married on May 30, 1956 and celebrated sixty-seven years together. After graduation Lynn was an elementary school teacher for several years prior to becoming a stay-at-home mom raising their four children. During that time, she was involved as a volunteer in her children's schools and an avid sports fan attending her children's sporting events whether it was basketball, lacrosse, softball or wrestling, she was their biggest cheerleader. When her children grew older, she went back to work as a classroom aide at Buckingham Elementary School in the Central Bucks Area School District and then as a secretary at Stout Brothers Fabrics, Colmar Pennsylvania. Upon Chuck's retirement Lynn and Chuck moved to Avalon, New Jersey where they lived for thirty-seven years. Lynn quickly became involved in numerous organizations in Avalon.

Lynn was an active member of the Avalon Garden Club serving several years as president and then continued working on many committees. Lynn was instrumental in spear heading many Garden Club beautification projects throughout the borough of Avalon and helped to coordinate their annual flower sale. When her grand-children were young Lynn was a "volunteer grandmom" with the Avalon Players, a summer theatre group in Avalon. Lynn also worked diligently alongside her husband in numerous philanthropic endeavors including The Helen L. Diller Home for Blind Children and the Avalon Lions Club.
