Lyn Louthen, Aptos, CA— Lyn Louthen passed away unexpectedly on July 19th, 2024, at her home in Aptos. She was a cherished mother, a fun and adventurous spirit, known for her mightily opinionated personality.
Her passing has left her children, Erin and Brendan Louthen, facing significant emotional and financial challenges. Lyn had no plans or financial funds set aside for her death arrangements, including her wishes to be cremated, settling her affairs, and sorting through the family home of over 30 years. To help navigate this difficult time, Erin Louthen has organized a fundraiser to assist with the numerous expenses and unpaid time off work needed to handle these tasks.
The fundraiser, titled "Help Support Erin and Brendan Louthen after Lyn’s Passing," has raised $725 of its $15,000 goal from nine generous donors, including Tammy Baier, Isaac Kim, Michael Holden, Kelly Bennett, and an anonymous contributor. Their donations have provided some relief to the family, but there is still a long way to go.
Erin and Brendan shared a heartfelt message on Facebook, expressing their gratitude for the support they have received and recalling their mother’s vibrant personality. Erin wrote, "Our mother Lyn Louthen was fun, adventurous, and mightily opinionated, all of which probably played a big part in summoning the courage to move our family to California from Ohio in 1975 with our dad, Patrick, when we were just children."
Lyn’s passing has also been met with an outpouring of love and support from the community. Teresa Quijance commented, "I’ll send something soon," reflecting the collective sentiment of those who knew Lyn and her family.
While there will be no funeral services at this time, Erin and Brendan plan to hold a celebration of Lyn’s life in the future. They encourage those who feel called to donate in Lyn’s memory to do so, with a heartfelt message, "As she would say, ‘Hugs and Kisses!’ to you all."
We are deeply saddened to learn of Lyn Louthen’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
