Plaistow NH: Francis X. Lynn, 83, of Plaistow, and formerly a longtime resident of Groveland, MA, died Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at Portsmouth, NH Regional Hospital, surrounded by his loving and supportive family. Born and raised in Melrose, MA, son of the late John and Marion (Wightman) Lynn, he attended local schools and graduated from Melrose High School where he met the love of his life, Katherine Adams. Together they raised their two daughters Sherry and Kathy and shared fifty-eight years of marriage until Katherine's death in 2019.

He also enjoyed nature and being kind to animals. His favorite pastime was sitting on his front porch watching the world go by and dining out at Mr. Mike's. He also enjoyed every new car that he purchased over the years.
