Lynn Clarkson of Portland, Maine
Jan. 25, 1948 - April 8, 2025
Lynn abhorred injustice, strived to help those with needs even greater than her own, and believed strongly in respect for nature and the need for human dignity. She made care packages with socks, toiletries, hats, and footwear for people she saw begging at street corners and was a regular volunteer at animal shelters and food pantries. She could make or fix anything, knew that cats deserved heaven on earth, was enchanted by birds at her feeder, and loved summertime gardens and conversation with her friends. She didn’t always understand the world around her but never wavered in her belief that actions speak louder than words and the world is made better with kindness.
