Lynn Margaret Taylor was born on 24th May 1945, a "celebration" for Phil and Maisie Taylor for the end of the 2nd World War.
Total raised to date in Lynn’s memory:
£6,494.55
The daughter of a professional footballer and England international, Lynn was born and raised in Liverpool with her younger sister Gillian and attended Waterloo Park Grammar School for girls. On leaving school Lynn became a hairdresser of some renown and later lectured in the subject at Liverpool Community College.
In 1965 Lynn met Harry and became Mrs Morgan on 27th March 1967. Janine was born on 9th December 1968, followed by Louise on 1st June 1970 - two beautiful girls who Lynn adored and were her pride and joy.
Lynn became a proud grandmother when Janine and Paul (Bowyer) produced her grandson Michael on 8th December 1994, followed by Georgia on 21st November 1996, and finally Olivia on 13th July 2000. The family she had always dreamed of was complete.
Lynn led an active life and enjoyed sailing in Wales and in the Mediterranean with her family and friends, and playing golf at the West Lancashire Golf Club where she was a member since 1983.
After retiring Lynn and Harry bought their dream ‘bolt-hole’ in the sun on the Costa del Sol in Spain and enjoyed six years and many magic moments together playing golf and petanque or just relaxing by the pool.
Lynn’s world was shattered after she complained of pains in her arm and shortly before her 58th birthday in 2004 was diagnosed with a brain tumour (G.B.M.). Lynn refused to give in or to accept the inevitable and fought for her life as only Lynn could. Five months after her tumour was removed Lynn confounded everyone and went to Spain on a golfing holiday, which meant so much to her. Two months after her holiday Lynn underwent surgery again to have the recurring tumour removed only to be confined to a wheelchair but still refusing to succumb. Lynn again managed, with the help of those who loved her, to return to Spain to see her beloved apartment for a final time.
Lynn never complained throughout her ordeal, continued to confound people and enjoyed a wonderful 60th birthday party in May 2005 with her loving family and close friends. A day no one who was there will ever forget.
Lynn went to sleep for the last time on 15th December 2005 after being cared for at home by her loving family.
Our heroine has gone but Lynn did not want anyone to go through what she had to endure. On behalf of Lynn we have set up a trust in her name which we would ask you to donate to. Hopefully one day we will all help to defeat this insidious and deadly disease.
All donations given in Lynn’s memory will be used to help research carried out by Clatterbridge Cancer Research.
