She was born on July 27, 1951, in Portland, Maine, to Jack E. & Madeline (Hurlburt) Wendel. Lynn attended grade school in Bristol and was in the first class to graduate from the newly constructed Mt. Abe, class of ’69.

Lynn was born in Portland. Almost immediately Jack and Midge moved to California for Jack to further his career. When Lynn was three they moved back to Vermont to raise their family.

She followed in her fathers’ artistic footsteps working in graphic design, and then moved on to sewing and knitting, where she found a true calling. She was a knitter until she retired in 2010.
