To the family and love ones of Soror Lynn Hill McBroom: Lynn was so loving, funny, strong, supportive, compassionate, and a Devout Christian. From November 2 to December 5, 1987, we were Line Sisters, a line of 10. I know people have mixed feelings about pledging. We did everything together. We cooked and cleaned together. If one ate, we all ate. We studied, sang, recited, completed and revised projects, and worshipped together. Although many times things were difficult, all my Sands will attest that Lynn made the worst of times the best of times. A bond was instilled in us that time and distance could not break. We took care of each other. Being a flower bearer for my Sands hit me so hard... Thankfully, my Sorors were there to comfort me as they have since 1987 and we will continue to do so. This, however, was the final act of love that we would bestow on our Lynn. Yes, I know that Lynn is truly in Heaven resting peacefully with Our Lord. Even with my eyes overflowing with tears, I can see Lynn's beautiful smile. I can even hear her soft-spoken voice telling me: Sands, I am so happy, and I feel great! Please dry your eyes and rejoice in my happiness. Keep sending those inspirational quotes. AND Finally take that T.O.O.T reunion vacation! Listen to and Hear Gospel songs. Study and Adhere to the Word. We shall meet again in the House of OUR DEAR LORD. Love you, Sands... Thanks so much, Mr. and Mrs. Hill for nurturing and sharing your beautiful Angelic daughter with us. Walker McBroom, thanks so much for being a devoted husband that gave Lynn the endless, unconditional love that she so deserved. Sands Dianne Kelly, Sorors of Lambda Zeta Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority prayed for God to give you the strength and wisdom to give Lynn a heartfelt tribute. We have always depended on our Tail, #10, to carry us and once again you did. No one else could have expressed so eloquently how much Lynn meant to us. Sweet Lynn Hill McBroom is gone from this world, but she will never be forgotten. Lynn has left a legacy of love and joy. Sands Shvonnie of Mobile, Alabama

Soror, I will miss you so much. Your kindness and sweetness was beyond what words can express. Your smile was infectious. Your kind words and lack of judgment was the life the God wants us to live. My prayers are with your family. May God comfort the family during this tragic and difficult time. I will miss you, Soror.

Lynn & I met at church when I was 7 and she was 8. Her mom was like a big sister to my mom. Lynn & I hung out a lot when we were little. I loved going over her house after church and stepping down into their sunken den / family room. Lynn always had such a gentle and sweet spirit. Although we grew apart during our high school and college years, we always found our way back to each other. We reconnected briefly when I moved to the North Atlanta, GA area in 2012 and discovered that Lynn lived nearby. I remember Lynn and her husband Walker coming to our extended family picnic at a park. Although Lynn was my friend, she was like family to my mom & my 3 sisters. I moved away again and we lost touch for awhile. We picked back up where we left off when I returned to the Atlanta area in 2018. I'm glad that we really made time to hang out the 18 months that I was in Atlanta before moving again. Lynn came to my house for a 2019 Vision Board party. I went with her to her friend's house party. We went on a double date with our husbands to see A Raisin in the Sun at the Marietta Square Theater. We would talk on the phone while she drove to / from Montgomery to visit her parents. I wish I would have taken Lynn up on her offer to accompany her on one of those road trips. I'm glad that we had the Vision Board 2.0 party at her house last December before I moved away again. Lynn was tired and not feeling up to going out, so we all gathered at her house and brought food. She looked beautiful and joyful as usual as she entertained us with fun games and made us take pictures Lynn was a bigger photo fanatic than me!! Even after I moved away, we kept in touch by calling each other regularly. I'm so glad I made time to call Lynn and answer her calls these past few months. I'm grateful that I told her "I love you" the last time we spoke. Tomorrow isn't promised. Cherish the time you have with your loved ones today. Create special memories. Allow yourself to go the extra mile with / for someone you call your friend. Lynn went the extra mile for those she loved and will be sorely missed. Regina "Yvette" Linear Ross

Lynn and I graduated from high school together and also attended UA at the same time. She was one of the sweetest people in our graduating class and had a smile that still sticks with me after all these years. Even through the sadness we can rest assured she is smiling even bigger now. Thoughts and prayers with her family and loved ones.

Lynn and I met in Dallas, Texas at Greenville Ave Church of Christ. She was always a sweet and supportive friend. I'm still in shock and saddened to know that she's transitioned, but I'm faithful and know that she's in Heaven. I'm praying for her family and her husband for strength and God's comfort at this time.

To the family of Lynn Hill McBroom, I would like to express my deepest, sincere condolences for your loss. I met Lynn through my cousin, Dianne Kelly, Atlanta over 15 years ago. Lynn was a wonderful person who had such a gentle, sweet spirit. Her beautiful smile and her lovely voice was contagious ~ it was obvious that she was one of God's angels living among us. She will be sorely missed! May God give Lynn's family the peace and comfort that only He can bring in their time of need. Rest In Peace beautiful angel; I know He said, "Well done good and faithful servant!" Konda Jones and Family of Knoxville, TN; member of the Baskin Family of Montgomery, AL.

My sincere condolences to the Family of Lynn for your lost of a beautiful soul inside and out. Lynn was my sorority sister. When I moved to Atlanta many years ago, I ran into her at the GDOL, after having loss my job. Lynn was helpful and supportive thru the process. Since that time we remained in contact thru phone calls catching up ever so often. She loved her husband and her family deeply. Her gentle spirit, kindness and her beautiful smile will be dearly missed. She's gone from this earthly world too soon, but I pray for comfort and strength for the family during this difficult time, knowing that this beautiful faithful servant is at rest with our Lord- Debbie B

Please know I love you and will keep all you in my prayers. May God continue to give you his strength, peace and comfort. May grow stronger as the days go on. Blesssings Tasha

I want to express my deepest condolences to Lynn's family for the loss of such a beautiful soul. I met Lynn a few years after my employment began with Macy's and we developed a friendship. Even when I left Atlanta, she remained in touch and called to check in on me. When I moved back to Atlanta last year, she was the first friend I saw. There really aren't enough words to explain how special she was. She was the type of person you may meet only once in a lifetime. I miss our talks, laughs and our reviews over our favorite TV shows. :) She was one of a kind. Christie Allen and the Allen Family

My dear sweet and oh so kind cousin Lynn will be truly missed. We often refer to our loved ones as the sweetest or kindest person we've ever known, but when I read all of the testimonials about Lynn on her FB page, Ross-Clayton Funeral Homes message page, or conversations that I have been having daily with my family members, those are the first words referenced in every written sentence or spoken word. All words associated with love, compassion and kindness were Lynn. I mean that in every sense of the word and with a southern accent and charm to boot. #loving devoted Christian, God fearing woman #Loving wife #Loving daughter to her parents, #loving sister to her brother #loving aunty #loving cousin and niece to everyone in our family #loving soror to her sisters of Delta Sigma Theta #Loving Lynn to the world Lynn, although you have transitioned in a physical sense, your life is eternal, and your love is eternal. In God's arms may you gently rest. I miss you so much cousin. RIH.

I worked with Lynn at the GA Department of Labor and she certainly was a wonderful addition to our team! I believe that the number of job seekers whose lives she touched was in the thousands. Being without employment is such a difficult time and Lynn helped so many to get back to work. She will be missed by all of us who were graced by knowing her. I send condolences to her family and friends. Carolyn Coburn-Allen

Lynn was a beautiful and sweet person. I met her several years ago through her husband, Walker. We became fast friends and whenever they came to North Carolina to visit I always looked forward to seeing her. She had such a sweet and kind spirit. When my mother was sick Lynn was so encouraging and supportive. My husband and I thank God that we got the privilege of knowing her. Our prayers are with her husband and family. God bless...Lisa McQuaig

Lynn was one of the sweetest, kindest people anyone could ever meet. She was quiet and regal, yet full of joy. Her life was truly a blessing to all whom she encountered. How wonderful to know that our Father will comfort those who grieve her absence with His reassurance of everlasting life in 1 Thess 4:13. She will be missed - but only until we meet again. Ralph and Debra Stokes

In addition to being my sorority sister, Lynn was my roommate during my Junior year at UA. So many long conversations when others were sleep and so many memories that I am blessed to have had. Such a wonderful person . While I am heartbroken, I know that God is good and all things work to the good for those who trust in that Lord. Lynn loved the Lord and while we may not fully understand his plan we know that He is in control. With that I pray that you know that Lynn was truly loved and will be missed by many. Keeping you in prayer, Lynette Daffin Wallace

Lynn was such a kind sweet friend. I looked forward to our calls and missed her so much when I moved away from Atlanta. She will be dearly missed but I know she has gone to be with our Heavenly Father and is no longer in pain. Her husband, parents and all who loved her will be in my prayers. This is such a difficult time for everyone. May God bring peace and comfort to our broken hearts. We miss you so much Lynn!!!

I remember Lynn and my four daughters together at Church every Sunday, growing up. They would sit in the back of the Church writing and passing notes to one another trying to hide it and not to get in trouble. Some Sundays after Church or on Saturdays the girls, including the Chapman's girls, (our pastors' daughter) would spend the day at our home or at Lynn's. Pauline was very particular about who she trusted with her precious baby girl. The girls would play games and have so much fun. They all got along so well. Pauline and I would usually prepare hotdogs, hamburgers, or tacos because they were all of the girl's favorite. The girls eventually went off to college. Lynn and my daughter, Regina were the best of friends and always stayed in touch. I considered Lynn my Goddaughter. That is how close our girls were with one another. Pauline, my big sister in Christ, and I would go years without talking, but when we did it was as if we had just talked the day before. Lynn was a sweet, soft-spoken child and young lady. She was always willing to do whatever to keep the peace. Her smile would light up a room. Pauline and Lynn were so close as mother and daughter. Losing Lynn is a huge loss to Pauline. I cannot begin to imagine the level of grief that Pauline is feeling. Lynn was also the apple of her daddy's eye. Elbert loved his baby girl. I know that Elbert has a heavy heart. So is Howard. He is Lynn's big brother and only brother. Howard was very protective of Lynn. He often got frustrated with Lynn as most big brothers do regarding 'little sisters.' I did not know Lynn's husband, Walker very well but I do know from conversations with Lynn that there was a lot of love between the two. Walker, Pauline, Elbert, and Howard, only God can comfort you through your great loss of a wife, daughter, and sister. Only God's peace can help you to accept your loss, knowing that God makes' no mistakes.' You may never know why God called Lynn home so soon. Remember, Lynn first belong to God who loved her before she was conceived. I thank God that He shared Lynn with all of you and the rest of us for 52 years. At some point all of you will be able to focus on the good times, for there were many. My family and I grieve with you and continue to pray and thank God for being with all of you during your loss. Lillie Linear.

LLynn had such a beautiful spirit and she was so sweet and kind. I remember her laugh and that radiant smile of hers. She was such a peacemaker and she always believed you should work out your problems. She was very forgiving. I can remember her us at work looking at photos of her friends and family. She really loved her friends and family so much and you could see that. She was very detailed and sometimes I would say Lynn.. You really can't get no perfect than that and she would laugh... We had such a great relationship and I considered her a true friend. There are so many fond memories I have of her as a coworker and a friend. I am so happy that we had a lot of good times together. I am going to miss her... We had the type of friendship that she would give me a gift and then ask can she have it back because someone needed it more.. and we would just laugh so hard.. I would call her an Indian giver...and we would laugh so hard.. but that was Lynn But that was our friendship. I loved her and I am going to miss her dearly.. Hanoy your friend and coworker

Lynn was a great co-worker. She was always pleasant, always sharing family pictures, vacation pictures, items when she went to a job fairs. If she forgot giving a person an item from a job fair, she would apologize. Lynn will surely be missed but never forgotten as a great co-worker as well as a great person to know.
