Lynn was born August 2, 1934 to Earl and Doris Briehn. Lynn grew up in the South. She was born in Louisiana, and lived in Bossier City and Shreveport. Lynn graduated from high school in Stamps, Arkansas and attended North Texas State University. She was an adventurer and longed to see the world. Lynn came to Alaska driving cross country from Arkansas with her grandparents. She came to visit her Aunt and Uncle Nance and fell in love with Alaska. Lynn was a true Alaskan before Alaska became a state. Lynn raised a family in Southeast Alaska and together with her family she traveled to logging camps all over Southeast Alaska building roads. After Lynn's children left home she pursued a career in Computer Programming and worked an amazing career. She was published in Paperless Publishing for her efforts and many of the computer programs that we use today she beta tested. She was a brilliant programmer and was ahead of her time. In retirement she crewed on fishing charters to be near the ocean she loved. Lynn spent her last few years in Washington and Nevada with her children.
