Tersea Lynch

With great sorrow and deep respect, we honor the life of Teresa Ann Lynch, affectionately known as Terry. Born in Boston, MA, on November 7, 1937, she passed away peacefully on September 26, 2024. Teresa was a remarkable woman who touched countless lives with her warmth, kindness, and unwavering faith. She was a beacon of light, illuminating the way for many with her steadfast love for the Lord and dedication to spreading His Word.

For decades, Teresa served the Boston community with commitment and integrity through her work at Boston City Hall. Her role in auditing earned her great respect for her meticulous attention to detail and dedication. However, it was her life outside of her profession that truly defined her. Teresa’s heart was a sanctuary of love for her family and faith. She found immense joy in playing the piano, often filling her home with the sound of worship music. A devoted elder of Reaching Higher Church and Gospel Redemption Church, her Bible study groups reflected her deep and abiding faith. "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love" (1 Corinthians 13:13), a verse that Teresa lived by and one that perfectly encapsulates her essence.

Teresa was the beloved wife of the late Edward C. Lynch. She is survived by her cherished children, Juliann and Shawn Lynch; her late sister Romain and her husband Vincent J. Bavaro; her late brother Michael DiPaolo and his wife Jane; her sister-in-law Brenda; and her late nephew John Lynch. She is also survived by her beloved nieces and nephews: Madeline Lynch,Regina and the late James Tello, Michael and Joann DiPaolo, Peter DiPaolo, Renae and Kerrie Coleman, Christopher and Shanon DiPaolo, Dominique and Marie DiPaolo, as well as her adored great-nieces and great-nephews: Ava and Christian Coleman, Meghan, Julian, Jaxson, Luca, Makayla and Benjamin DiPaolo, James Tello and Ava Tello. She was preceded in death by her loving parents, Louis and Anna DiPaolo.

Teresa's legacy will live on in all the lives she touched, and her memory will be cherished forever by those who loved her. We encourage friends and family to share their memories, stories, and photos of Teresa on her memorial page. Her life was a testament to the power of faith, the strength of family, and the beauty of love. Let us come together to celebrate her life, remembering the love she gave, the faith she held, and the joy she brought into our lives.

A graveside service for Tersea will be held Tuesday, October 1, 2024, at 10:00Am at Holy Cross Cemetery located at 175 Broadway, Malden, MA.
