Arlyn Lynch Obituary

Arlyn Ann Lynch (née Leone) passed away on February 19, 2025, at the age of 74. Born on February 16, 1951, Arlyn was a woman of deep faith whose life was marked by love, compassion, and grace.

She is survived by her husband, Denee Lynch of Wabash, Indiana; her son, Steven Brown; and her daughters, Sheree Shipman and Starr Daly, along with their husbands, Christopher Shipman and Matt Daly. She was also blessed with nine grandchildren: Kayla Brown, Steven Brown Jr., Jennifer Brown, Sarah Layfield, Kylee Layfield, Daisy Ramirez, Maddison Shipman, Brandon Daly, and Dylan Daly, who were the joy of her heart.

Arlyn's unwavering faith in Jesus Christ was the foundation of her life. Her strength, kindness, and generosity left a lasting impact on those who knew her. As we mourn her passing, we take comfort in the words of 2 Timothy 4:7: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

While Arlyn is now at rest with the Lord, we hold close the promise of John 14:2-3: "In my Father's house are many rooms... I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me."

No services will be held at this time.
