Celebrating the life of
Lyn Little McCuen (Honey)
July 01, 1959 - June 24, 2026
Lyn Little McCuen ("Honey") passed away peacefully on June 24, 2026, at Hospice Savannah, surrounded by the love of her family, after a courageous battle with breast cancer.
Lyn was born on July 1, 1959, in Athens, Georgia, to Pat and Sally Little. When she was 11 years old, her family moved to Savannah, a city she proudly called home for the rest of her life. Although she was not born in Savannah, she was always quick to point out that her ancestors were among the 112 passengers aboard the Queen Anne who arrived in Georgia with General James Oglethorpe.
Lyn graduated from Savannah Christian Preparatory School a year early and attended Armstrong State College, where she was a Little Sister for the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.
Throughout her life, Lyn was deeply committed to serving her community. She was a Brownie and Girl Scout troop leader, a former member of the Junior League of Savannah, and served as President of Community Children's Theatre. She also founded and served as President of the Special Needs Puppetry Program, Kids on the Block, through Memorial Medical Center. For several years, she also shared her love of Savannah as a Historic Savannah tour guide.
Lyn was a dedicated board member of Lindsey's Place and Abilities Unlimited, organizations that serve the special needs community in Savannah. She also chaired the highly successful Lawyers, Guns & Money Charity Clay Shoot for many years, raising funds to benefit Abilities Unlimited. She was also a proud member of the Lowcountry Annie Oakleys.
In 1997, Lyn began what would become a long and successful career in real estate. She built lasting relationships with her clients, who often became lifelong friends, and in later years found great joy in mentoring new agents entering the profession. She was a proud member of the Savannah Area Realtors for 29 years.
More than anything, Lyn cherished time with her family and friends. She loved traveling, boating, spending time at Tybee Island and the family farm, clay shooting, and taking late afternoon golf cart rides. Her personality was larger than life, and her radiant smile, accompanied by the unmistakable twinkle in her eye, could light up any room. She loved generously, laughed often, and was deeply loved by all who knew her.
Lyn is survived by her beloved husband of nearly 47 years, Wip McCuen; her daughter, Kristen McAdams (John); her son, Mac McCuen; her cherished grandsons, Jack, Lee, and Will McAdams; her brother, David Little; her sister, Laura Sherman; and countless extended family members, dear friends, and others whose lives were forever enriched by knowing her.
In lieu of flowers, Lyn requested that memorial donations be made to Abilities Unlimited, Breast Cancer Research, Nurse Navigators, or a favorite charity of your choice.
Visitation will be held at Fox & Weeks Funeral Directors, Hodgson Memorial Chapel, on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. A graveside service will be held at Bonaventure Cemetery on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, at 10:30 a.m.

Lyn was a titan in the Savannah real estate world and a mentor for so many agents. She was what it truly means to be a REALTOR. The real estate community has lost part of its heart with the loss of Lyn. I learned so much from her and will miss her very much! Rest in Peace my sweet friend. May you hear the words from our Lord, "Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master."

Lyn McCuen left her mark on all of us. Generous with her time, devoted to her family, always a friend.

My heart goes out to the family and all who loved her. It was a privilege to work with Lyn on numerous occasions throughout the years. I always admired how fiercely she fought for her clients. She was passionate about serving others, and that same love and dedication extended far beyond real estate to everyone blessed to be part of her world. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, strength, and genuine care for others. Praying for God's peace and comfort to surround your family in the days and months ahead.

My heartfelt condolences to Lyn's family and to the countless lives she touched over the years. Even though I only had the privilege of knowing Lyn and her family for the past six years, those years were incredibly meaningful and impactful to me. She was an extraordinary woman who excelled at so many things, but the quality I will treasure most was the love she had for her family. She was an inspiration in the way she balanced life, real estate, and the people she loved most. She was so proud of her boys, Wip and Mac, and absolutely adored her one and only daughter, Kristen. She loved watching the beautiful life Kristen and Jack built together and cherished every moment she spent with them and her beloved grandsons, Jack, Lee, and Will. As a fellow boy mom, I especially loved hearing Lyn talk about Kristen and Jack raising three wonderful boys. She would tell me the funniest stories about life in a house full of boys, and we would laugh together. Every time she talked about her family, her face would light up. Her love for them was unmistakable, and it was impossible not to smile right along with her. Lyn was also an incredible advocate, mentor, and friend. One conversation with her changed the course of my oldest son's journey. As I was trying to help him navigate his growing passion for powerlifting, Lyn connected us with "Jim from the Gym." My oldest son had already been training and coaching himself, but I knew he needed the guidance and mentorship of someone with experience to help him reach his full potential. Lyn made that connection without hesitation. Shortly thereafter, he began competing and quickly excelled in the sport, dominating his division. Today, that journey has led him all the way to the World Championships in South Africa. At the time, I had no idea that one simple conversation with Lyn would have such a profound impact on my son's life, but that's who Lyn was. What meant just as much to me was that her involvement didn't stop with the introduction. After every competition or meet, she would always ask, "How did he do?" She genuinely celebrated his accomplishments and was always excited to hear about his progress. As a matter of fact, the very last conversation I had with Lyn was about my son's upcoming trip to World's. That was Lyn—always thinking of others, always encouraging, and always cheering on the people she cared about. She always seemed to know exactly who could help, what to say, or where to point someone, and she never hesitated to invest in the lives of others. She was the person we all turned to. Whether I needed advice about real estate, life, raising boys, or simply wanted to know where we should all go for our next girls' night out, Lyn always had wisdom to share. She had a remarkable way of making people feel heard, supported, and encouraged. Those of us girls at the office always looked forward to hearing about the girls' trips and the many adventures she shared. She had a gift for storytelling, and her joy was contagious. She lived life with enthusiasm and made those around her want to do the same. I feel incredibly blessed to have known Lyn, to have learned from her, and to have called her my friend. Although six years seems like such a short time, the impact she had on my life—and on my family's life—will last forever. She taught by example how to love your family fiercely, how to show up for your friends, how to work hard, and how to live with grace, humor, generosity, and an unwavering love for the people who mattered most. I will treasure our text messages and keep your last voicemail on my phone for as long as I can. They are precious reminders of your kindness, your wisdom, and your friendship. This isn't goodbye. It's simply, "Until we meet again." Thank you, Lyn, for sharing your heart so generously with all of us. You made a difference in my life and in my family's life in ways I will never forget. You will be deeply missed, but your legacy will live on through your beautiful family and in the countless lives you touched—including mine.

I'm so sad to hear of her passing. She was such an amazing woman & friend. My memories of her as a Highland Dance Mom and Scottish Thistle Member will always be how I remember her. Summers at Ms Littles house after the Scottish Games and Coastal meetings are some of my favorite memories. Her warm smile and laugh always felt like home. My sincerest condolences to Mr Wip, Kristen and Mac and her family. She will be so missed and will be remembered warmly. Love to you all.
- Laurian Graham Kenney, Tega Cay , South Carolina
So sorry to hear of her passing. I left Savannah quite a few years ago but part of my heart will always be there. I worked with Lyn and will never forget her as she was always helpful, so knowledgeable and always giving and happy. My condolences to her family as she will be surely missed.
- Robin Arrow, Kingwood, Tx
I am shocked to hear of Lynn's passing. He accomplishments as a realtor have been noted by many others in their condolences. I knew Lynn for 20 years and considered her one of the nicest people I have ever known. God Bless Her and her family during this most difficult time! You made a mark Lynn!!!
- Paul J Weber III, Savannah, GA
Lyn and I met as coworkers at Drs. Stillwell, McCaslin and McCaslin in the late 1970s and remained friends long after those days of pediatric dentistry had morphed into marriages, children, and life beyond. The sadness of her passing is felt by all who were blessed to have known her loving soul and it seems she knew most of, if not all of Savannah. Lyn may have been little in stature but she was big in the good ways that mattered.
- Julia Jones Williams, Isle of Hope, Georgia
Such a wonderful light-gone way too soon. Gods peace to you all.

Lyn was always so happy and positive a beautiful human being inside and out
- Susie and Dave Harvey, Savannah , Ga
Lyn was my Realtor when I became a first-time homeowner in 2011. Ten years later, I made a career change and entered the real estate profession myself. Unfortunately, I only had the opportunity to interact with Lyn once or twice after getting my license. But looking back on my experience as a wide-eyed, wet-behind-the-ears homebuyer, it doesn't surprise me at all that Lyn found such joy in mentoring new agents. She had a gift for guiding others and making an impact that lasted far beyond the closing table. To Lyn's family, friends, colleagues, and the many agents she mentored, please know that you all have my prayers in the days ahead. -James Hall

Lyn will always be remembered as one of the principal agents within the Coldwell Banker family. Gifted with professionalism, enthusiasm (Loud) and always delivering everything with kindness, she was an incredible Real Estate Agent. I told her once that her professional photos didn't do her justice and that's because I knew her as being truly lovely on the inside and the outside. The tributes say it all! They all portray Lyn as the wonderful person that she was, and I feel incredibly blessed to have had her as a trusted colleague and friend for over 27 years. Wip, Mac, Kristen, Lauren, David and the family you are going to miss her for the rest of your lives, but you will also always know that you had one of the very best. Love and peace to you all and rest in peace beautiful lady.
- Marion Leith, Savannah, GA

Wip, I just found out today about Lyn's passing from my friend John Mullino. He sent me a text this morning that he was parked at my families plot at Bonaventure so I assume you're is close by. I didnt know Lyn but I am so sorry my friend and unfortunately I know all too well what you are going through and you have my deepest sympathy and condolences. My wife who was part of my life for the last 50 years passed away on August 15, 2025 and our daughter very unexpectedly on June 18, 2018- they are both buried in our family plot in Bonaventure along with my parents, grandparents, my brother Kevin, an aunt and uncle, and a cousin and uncle that died at birth who I never knew. I will be there too next to Susie and Katherine when my time comes but hoping that will be a while. If there is anything I can do to help please don't hesitate to ask. Rick
