CURRENT CELEBRATIONS

Linda Anne Dattilio

Lynn had a close group of friends and kept them for a lifetime. She was loved by all, was a good hearted, positive attitude, generous person who would make you laugh. She enjoyed traveling including Colorado, Sedona, England, Spain, Hawaii, and many other destinations. She was a 1982 Holy Cross High School graduate and a 1990 graduate of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, She was licensed to practice in the states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Being a pharmacist was more than a job; it was Lynn’s passion. She worked for many hospitals in her career (most recently at Jefferson, Cherry Hill, NJ) and saved many lives along the way since her graduation days.  Lynn always thought of others and was willing to help out whenever needed including surprising you with an L & M cupcake or cake. If her TV was on, she would probably be popping in a DVD from her collection, doing a little binge watching, or watching her favorite sports teams, The Phillies, The Eagles and The Flyers. She was an avid sports fan. She was game for just about any event like a wine tasting, an air show, lunch/dinner get together with friends or cousins or a good party.  Even learning at 60 to make her grandmothers Ravioli’s from her cousin, goes to show it’s never too late to learn something new. More sophisticated times found Lynn heading off to the Philadelphia Orchestra, a Bruce Springsteen Concert, a musical in Philadelphia, a Broadway show in New York, or a Phillies & Flyers game with friends.  Lynn loved life!

She is survived by her siblings, Frank (Maryann) and John (Paola) and her nieces and nephews, Roseann, Tara, Michael (Michaella), Isabella and Francesca and an aunt, Anna Dattilio and an uncle, Emerson Lucas along with many beloved cousins and great nieces and nephews. Linda was the daughter of the late Frank Dattilio and Linda Blanzola, and sister of the late Daniel Dattilio.
