Lyn Sullivan
Lyn S. Sullivan, 72, of Ingram, Pa., formerly of Butler, passed away peacefully at home with her loving family by her side on Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024.
She was born in Harrisburg on Oct. 24, 1951, and was the daughter of the late Jacob and Yvonne Harder.
Lyn earned her Bachelor of Science in nursing, BSN, from the University of Pittsburgh and dedicated her life to caring for others. Even in the face of her own health challenges, Lyn’s compassionate spirit never wavered.
Lyn enjoyed her time traveling cross-country before ultimately planting her roots with her husband, Bob, raising their family in Pittsburgh. Over nearly 50 years of marriage, they built a life rooted in love, respect and mutual support. Lyn’s sharp wit and sarcasm brought humor and lightness to their relationship, and she remained a source of strength for her family. Lyn lived a life filled with love and laughter, and she formed deep connections with many near and far that she cherished. She was the strong and proud matriarch of her family. She was a devoted wife and mother and adored her grandchildren.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 49 years, Robert; her loving children, Dylan (Lisa) Sullivan, Jacob (Erin) Sullivan and Mariah (Matthew) Chynoweth; her dear sister, Amy Harder; and her adored grandchildren, Madison, Makenzie, Sydney and Sienna.
Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her, as they remember her warmth, humor and the love she shared. Lyn was known for often saying, “This too shall pass,” a phrase that reflected her resilient and optimistic outlook on life. It was a reminder to herself and those around her that even in difficult times, better days were ahead.
SULLIVAN — In keeping with her wishes, there will be no viewing or funeral service for Lyn S. Sullivan, who died Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Lyn’s name to a charity close to your heart.
