Anna Marie Lynch
February 3, 1943 - December 11, 2025
Anna Marie Lynch, age 82, of Middleton, DE, formerly of Rockaway Beach, NY, passed away on Thursday, December 11, 2025.
Born in New York, NY on February 3, 1943, she was a daughter of the late Francis and Maude (McGaughey) Lambe. Anna was educated at Holy Name Grammar School and later graduated from Thorpe Secretarial High School in Manhattan, class of 1961. Following her graduation, she began her career working as a secretary. Anna eventually dedicated many years to healthcare administration, serving as Director of Admissions at both Park Nursing Home and Sheepshead Bay Nursing Home.
She was a proud resident of Rockaway for over 40 years. Rockaway held a special place in her heart, as it was where her family vacationed during her childhood, and later became the place where she chose to raise her own children.
For the past 10 years, Anna has resided in Delaware, where she continued to enjoy family life and community.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Vincent Lynch; daughter, Colleen Lynch; siblings, Frank Lambe, Alice Lawlor, and Agnes Regan. Anna is survived by her son, Shaun Lynch; and several nieces and nephews.

Shaun and family, I am so sorry for your loss and sending prayers during this difficult time period. I was fortunate enough to meet Anna a few times over the years and she was always so sweet, thoughtful and funny. I have fond memories of receiving holiday cards, bonding over Irish roots and joking over phone calls in the office and at parties. She will be truly missed by many, and may she rest peacefully. Sending love.
