Celebrating the life of
Susan M. Lynah
August 27, 1941 - July 22, 2024
Through complications of Alzheimer's, Susan McKenzie Lynah passed away on Monday evening peacefully, like a gentle breeze, surrounded by loved ones and listening to Miles Davis. She leaves behind her daughter, Emily McKenzie Lynah, endless cousins and friends, along with a legendary tale of wild adventures and a deep impact of pure kindness. She was born on August 27, 1941, in Bainbridge Georgia, to Rosalind Hurst McKenzie and James Stuart McKenzie, and had one brother, James Stuart McKenzie, II. She attended finishing school at Stephens College in Missouri and studied as a concert pianist in Vienna, Austria. She lived a full and beautiful life, living in San Francisco, New York City, Spy Rock California, and ultimately landing in Savannah, Georgia. Professionally, she was a photo stylist, working in New York and Savannah, GA. Through many adventures, she always said the best years of her life were in Savannah on the magical family land of Woodboo, where she and her husband raised their daughter. She had a true sense of humor, a pure and joyful kindness, a passion for music, and a profound love for her daughter. Susan married into the Lynah family, and although divorced, she left this world as a cherished and beloved member of that beautiful family.
Her service will be at 12:30pm on Saturday, July 27th at Christ Church Episcopal, followed by graveside at Bonaventure. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in her name to Christ Church Episcopal. https://christchurchsavannah.org/giving

I remember meeting you both when you moved into our neighborhood. We would ride our bikes and hang out. Even when you moved out if our neighborhood, we still hung out. I'll never forget your mother's kind, sweet, and caring personality. My prayers are with you!

Susan always had a smile for me on my mail route. The little everyday things like that helped me make through my day. God Bless her. Tim.

We can’t help but frequently remember magical days and evenings with Susan and Sam at Woodboo! The shack of a house decorated in Persian rugs, a grand piano and all the trappings of a more gentile time, was the perfect backdrop for Susan, a warm, loving, gracious (if a bit quirky) southern lady of the finest tradition. Great meals, great conversation, and great times. RIP Susan. It was our honor knowing you.
