Lynn Wollenzien Chadwick completed his mortal journey on June 4, 2023 in Ogden, Utah. He was born on January 16, 1925 in Ogden, Utah. Lynn grew up and went to school in Star Valley, Wyoming. After high school, Lynn was drafted and joined the Merchant Marines during WWII. After the war, Lynn graduated from the University of Wyoming with a degree in psychology.

Lynn met his wife, Donna Burgi, while he was teaching at an elementary school in Salt Lake City. They were married April 23, 1954 in the Salt Lake Temple. They had four sons. The family moved to Santa Maria, California in 1960 where Lynn worked as a social worker for schools and foster families in Santa Barbara County. The family moved to Layton, Utah in 1976. Lynn worked at the VA Hospital in SLC until he retired.
