FRAMINGHAM – Our beloved mother, Lynn Meyer of Framingham, passed away peacefully in her sleep on March 23, 2023, at the age of 87.
A memorial gathering will take place on Friday, April 21, 3:30 – 5 p.m. in the Peloquin Room at Heritage Senior Living, 747 Water Street, Framingham. All are welcome to stop by.
Marilynn Golden was born on July 24, 1935 to Ruth and Jack Golden of South River, N.J. Lynn was loved by all who came into contact with her, especially her many friends and family.
She was the devoted mother to four children: Melinda (Steve) Moses, Josh (Michael Chandler) Meyer, Diana McCarthy, and David (Annalisa) Meyer. Lynn was cherished “Nanny” to eight grandchildren who were the light of her life: RJ, Jason and Julia McCarthy, Jessica and Rebecca Moses, Sadie Meyer and Jonah and Norah Meyer. Lynn is also survived by her beloved sister Bonita Sue Miller of West Palm Beach, Fl and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
No matter how tough things got for Lynn, she always had a smile on her face, looked at the bright side, never complained and was always ready for a social gathering.
Our mother was a kind, caring and giving person who always put the needs of others ahead of her own, especially her family. Underneath her compassionate exterior, she was an exceptionally strong and resilient woman who faced every one of the many challenges in her life with courage and dignity.
Those who knew her well drew strength and inspiration from the way she lived her life, from the early years in New Jersey, New York and Pittsburgh, to her home of the last 50 yeas in Framingham, Massachusetts, where she and our father George Meyer raised our family and built a comfortable life for us.

Lynn fondly remembered a childhood of piano lessons and sleepaway summer camp. She delighted in her father’s sense of humor and her mother’s devotion to faith and a Jewish temple, Anshe Emeth, in South River, NJ that her parents helped establish.

Growing up, Lynn was always there for us, whether we needed help with homework, a ride to tennis or, later on, someone to enjoy a good meal and a cocktail with at one of many local restaurants she loved so much.
Lynn instilled in all of us the importance of family, hard work, thoughtfulness, and doing what is right. She was a true role model who we have always looked up to.
Lynn was a model for catalogs during college at Elmira and then Tobe-Coburn Fashion School for Business. She became known for her good-natured mischievous streak. After graduating, she continued to model, worked as a shoe buyer and lived in an apartment with girlfriends at the famed Barbizon Hotel on the Upper East side. Her social life soared, as did her romantic life, which included some of Manhattan’s most eligible bachelors.
She went on to have a successful career as a Manufacturers Rep for toys and gifts, traveling solo throughout New England – through rain, snow and the occasional car problems in the middle of nowhere. Her customers always looked forward to Lynn’s visits, and her grandchildren cherished her stories of life on the road and the toys and trinkets she never failed to bring them.
Lynn’s funeral service and burial took place at Anshe Emeth Cemetary in South River, NJ where she was buried in the family plot next to her mother and father and other close friends and relatives.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Jewish Family Services of Metrowest.
Mom, you will always and forever be in our hearts and minds. We love you so much.
