Our long-time attender Lyn Clarke passed recently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her friend Barb Simon, who faithfully drove her to Durham Friends over many years, shared this with us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lyn died\u00a06\/27\/2024\u00a0(Thursday). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lyn was not brought up in the Quaker faith but she loved the Durham Friends community, and the values the Quakers embraced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She started losing her sight in about 1995 and she was sad when she could no longer drive. So when I offered to bring her to meeting she jumped at the opportunity to return.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She loved the garden, the Sunday Meeting messages, the people who she met at meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We stopped coming when Lyn’s hearing gave out and she could no longer recognize people who spoke to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She missed coming to meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lyn died a week ago in the wee hours of June 27th at the age of 88.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please hold Lyn’s family in the light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
