GRANBY –LYNCH – Elaine C. Lynch, 79, passed away on Wednesday, December 6, 2017 surrounded by her beloved five children. She was born July 21, 1938 in Hartford; the daughter of the late Albert and Ida (Orschel) Christ. She graduated from Bloomfield High School where she was a tremendously competitive athlete lettering in Basketball, Softball and Field Hockey. She was a lifelong communicant, devoted Eucharistic Minister and Recruiter for the Women’s Retreat of St. Therese’s Church in Granby as well as proud Associate of the Sisters of the Cross at Our Lady of Calvary.
