Lynne Twitchell-Hammett

I’m deeply saddened to report that Lynne Twitchell (Hammett) passed away last night.

Since she was put in intensive care last week, members of the bridge of ASMBYC have regularly visited her but at no time did she regain consciousness.

Lynne was a devoted volunteer to ASMBYC and has been the Opening Day chair probably since the position was created. She has helped countless Commodores and Bridges of ASMBYC for so many years. She has managed the Calendar ads that have been the financial life blood of ASMBYC. This year marked her final year as ASMBYC Installation chair. Previously she was the Commodore of Windjammers YC. For her many years of service she had received the ASMBYC David Poe Service Award.

Beyond all the work that she has done as a volunteer, she had been a friend to all of us. She knew so many people in our yachting activities from juniors to seniors and kept in touch with the community even as she was kept in a wheelchair and immobile for several years.

Our heartfelt prayers are offered to her.

Lynne’s brother is flying here from the east coast and we will keep everyone informed of funeral arrangements.

With Deepest Regret,

Roberto Cordero
Commodore ASMBYC
