In Memoriam
Lynne Knickerbocker
We are saddened to inform you that Lynne Knickerbocker, mother of Adam '98, passed away on February 4.
"Lynne will be remembered for her radiant kindness, her luminous smile, and an uncanny ability to make every person with whom she spoke feel like the only one that mattered in the world. Her marriage to Bob was a model of unconditional devotion and deep friendship. She was a passionately curious human being who travelled to 22 countries and numerous states because she valued opportunities to broaden her perspective. She treasured people and their stories, and spent much of her time planning and gathering gifts to remind her friends and family how much they mattered. Lynne was a lifelong learner and teacher, her greatest lesson being that everyone is worthy of love and belonging. She demonstrated an indomitable spirit in the face of great challenge. Small faith groups were a source of deep relationship and community throughout her life. Above all, she was a brilliant and enthusiastic grandmother who sparkled—sharing s’mores around a campfire, orchestrating indoor snowball fights and stocking pajamas and swimsuits in all the appropriate sizes just in case a spontaneous slumber party or swim date with the grandkids presented itself."

A Funeral Mass was held for Lynne on Tuesday, February 25, 2020. Memorial gifts may be made in her name to Cabrini Cupboard Food Bank and The Gathering Place.
