Elizabeth C. (Lib) Lynn

Elizabeth C. (Lib) Lynn of Greer died on Monday, 27 March in her 78th year of life. Born on 30 September 1938 in Andalusia, AL, she was the daughter of the late Clifford and Norma Carroll. At an early age her family moved to Raleigh, NC where she grew up and graduated from Needham Broughton High School in 1956. A storybook romance preceded her marriage to her life's true love, Vann Lynn, in 1958 and they relocated to the SC upstate in 1962. A wonderful wife and mother, she was immensely proud of her two sons and never missed any of their school programs, sporting events, awards ceremonies, etc. throughout her life. Lib worked a variety of jobs after her sons started school, but spent most of her career with the Greenville County School District working as a teacher's aide at Greer Middle School and later as school secretary at both Woodland and Sara Collins Elementary. Students and teachers from the 1960s and 1970s will remember her as the Halloween Witch who made her own costume and visited the local schools each year to make the holiday a special treat, rather than a trick, for the kids. Born with an amazing artistic talent, she was a champion crafter who excelled in a variety of disciplines including knitting, crochet, painting, sewing, basket weaving, stained glass, quilting and others. She enjoyed cooking new recipes, shopping for bargains, working in the yard, visiting new places, watching The Walking Dead and fishing. Things she didn't like were dishonesty, inconsiderate people and especially Donald Trump. Lib was one of the nicest people imaginable. She put the needs of family and friends before her own. If you were having a tough time, you knew you could count on her. Consequently, she leaves behind a large group of close friends. She had a very special bond with her husband Vann. He was the pilot and she was the navigator who steered them both through a lifetime of travel, excitement, companionship and love. They were a true team and together they overcame many of life's challenges, but also enjoyed many of life's pleasures. She is survived by her husband Vann Lynn of Greer, SC; her son Ken Lynn and his wife Monica of Fleetwood, NC; her son Clifford Lynn of Charleston, SC; one grandson, Max Lynn of Inman, SC; a brother, Thomas Carroll of Bartow, FL and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and sister, Lorraine Pedler. Visitation will be held 6:00-8:00 p.m. Thursday, March 30, 2017 at The Wood Mortuary in Greer. Funeral services will be private. The family requests donation in her memory be made to the American Cancer Society. Online condolences may be made at www.thewoodmortuary.com.
