During the clearing of skies, and a day that turned sunny, Lynn flew away to a land of milk and honey. Lynn Medley-Bush was born on April 1, 1966 in Leonardtown, Maryland. She saw the light of glory and departed this life on January 10, 2013.

She is the second oldest daughter of Geraldine Medley June (Sylvester) and Frances M. Jones. Lynn received her education in the St. Mary's County Public School System and graduated from Leondardtown High School in 1984. After graduation, Lynn joined the Federal Government working in various agencies, NASA, and the US Department of Education.

Lynn was a long-time member of the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research in the US Department of Education. She was responsible for managing many aspects of its grants program and was dedicated to the mission of the agency -- improving the lives of people with disabilities through research. Lynn was an effective leader of two Department of Education Programs in the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education serving poor and disadvantaged school children: The Alaska Natives and the Native Hawaiian programs. Lynn was a vigorous champion and strong voice defending children and families who benefited from reading, mathematics and science, and dropout prevention activities supported by the program. Her devotion to Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian children and their families was visible in her daily enthusiasm for and dedication to her work.

Lynn married Wesley Bush on July 20, 2005 in Montego Bay, Jamaica. He was the love of her life and when he passed on October 18, 2008, she continued to carry his name and his memory. He was her heavenly husband, but they are now together in glory. Anijah "Booka" was her life. From the 1st day she laid eyes on her Lynn fell in love and committed every moment to her nurturing. Her seven years of life with Booka was spent making sure she got to see the world around her visiting amusement parks, aquariums, museums, the White House, carnivals, cooking and the Dallas Cowboys.

She loved her son and daughter Theresa and kept them close under her watchful eye. She was more than just his mother but his friend as he spent many hours lying at the foot of her bed seeking her advice (his advice he would say). Theresa was her right hand-go to girl. At the drop of a hat Theresa was there even if it meant hours spent searching the internet.

We can't forget to mention Wesley's pug, Mugzie, that Lynn took care of after Wesley's passing. Mugzie was everybody's responsibility because she gave him to Wesley, so the dog was a big piece of her as well.

Lynn had a very beautiful spirit and was an Angel on earth that showed unconditional and unselfish love to everyone that crossed her path. She was the glue that kept her family together and the treasure chest of our innermost thoughts and secrets.

She had an infectious smile and a loving personality that touched all who came into contact with her including her Godsons: Melvin Edwards and Marcus Mills, adopted children: Bert, Chuck, Larry, Devin, Dee and special cousins: Dion, Gary, and Ashley Kennedy and her special friends: Melissa Mills, Jacqueline "Jack" Edwards, Renee Bonds and Rochelle Whittington. Her love helped to encourage, uplift, motivate and inspire us all through our most difficult times.

Lynn enjoyed vacationing and cruising with family and friends and capturing family events from behind the camera. Random trips to Delaware with Lorraine and Gizelle was her favorite including visiting with her boyfriend: Wal-Mart, as she called it. Her greatest passion in life was her family and finding ways to get everyone together. Lynn, with Aunt Lorraine, planned our family trips and made sure we were well fed with lots of food and many desserts. Her final days were spent with family, friends, special friend, Leroy Gibson and helping families with hospice.

Lynn leaves behind to cherish her memories her mother, Geraldine June (Sylvester); father, Francis Jones; son, Jarvis Medley (Theresa); granddaughter, Anijah Medley; two sisters, Stephanie Medley and Gizelle Young (Greg); one brother, Lewis Medley (Joy); Uncle Rudolph Medley (Elizabeth), Aunt Lorraine Kennedy (Howard), Aunt Ann Medley; nephews Michael Briscoe, Jr. and Lewis Medley, Jr.; nieces Jessica and LaTasha Briscoe and Nya Medley; special cousins, Dion and Howard (Gary) Kennedy, Ashley Dickerson, Jay Medley, Stacey Medley; her Godmother, Yvonne Lennon and a host of other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her grandparents Leroy and Christine Medley, Uncle Lionel Medley and beloved husband, Wesley Bush.
