Lynn Krikorian, aged 71 of Riverdale, passed away on Monday, September 10, 2018, after more than a two and a half year brave battle with multiple myeloma. Lynn was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, the daughter of George and Elsie Schwarz.
Lynn was a cheerleader for Warren Harding High School and graduated with the Class of 1965. She went on to Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1969. She was also a member of Alpha Omicron Pi. She continued her education at William Paterson University where she proudly received her Master of Science in Nursing Education in 2007.
In her early working years in Connecticut, Lynn became a Registered Nurse and worked in the Bridgeport Hospital emergency room and pediatrics unit, as well as a visiting nurse. She began working on the teaching side of nursing at the Onondaga Community College in Syracuse, New York and fell in love with that profession. After moving to New Jersey, she became a nursing lab coordinator and instructor at Passaic County Community College and taught there for 27 years. After she reluctantly retired in 2016, she continued to teach part-time in order to mentor students, which was her passion.
Lynn loved to travel and was always ready for a new adventure…anywhere, anytime. She was a true animal lover who had a dog by her side since childhood but more recently adopted a cat. Her happy place was sitting on the beach, reading a book, and going for a swim in the ocean. Lynn was always active and enjoyed going to a Broadway play in NYC, a movie or concert and meals out with friends or family. She always left room for a chocolate dessert, coffee and popcorn.
Lynn was survived by two daughters: Kristen Krikorian of South Boston, MA, and Lauren Erickson and her husband Trevor of West Milford, NJ; and one granddaughter: Amber Erickson. She also leaves behind many loving relatives, friends and colleagues.
Donations in Lynn’s name can be made to the American Red Cross PO Box 37839, Boone, IA 50037-0839, would be greatly appreciated.
