Lin Chandler, 67, recently of Plymouth, Massachusetts and Hampton, New Hampshire, and formerly a long-time resident of Gloucester, Massachusetts, passed away on April 2nd.

Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Lin grew up with a deep love for animals and a passion for caring for others. She was a proud mother with a vibrant, creative, and entrepreneurial spirit. Known for her spectacular holiday decorations and artistic cakes, Lin had a unique gift for bringing people together and making everyone around her feel included and cherished.

A massage therapist by trade, her dedication to others culminated in her opening the 222 Community Wellness Center in Gloucester. There, she cultivated an intentional, welcoming space for yoga and alternative wellness, thriving in the community she built until her retirement in 2022.

Following her retirement, Lin embraced a simpler life in Plymouth, Massachusetts and Hampton, New Hampshire. Living close to her family, she enjoyed the company of her beloved animals, neighbors, and friends.

Lin is survived by her two daughters, Amanda and Melissa, and their families; her sisters, their families; and a close circle of lifelong friends and loved ones. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joan and Donald.
