Lynn Mary Munson, 79, of Narragansett, passed away peacefully at Scallop Shell Nursing Home on January 31, 2026.

Born in Providence, she was the daughter of the late Hilding K. Munson and Alice R. (Donilion) Munson.

Lynn was wonderful teacher of languages; she was the World Language Department head at Mount Pleasant High School for several years. Prior to that she taught French and Italian at several Providence schools. Her love of languages led her to visit and eventually teach in Thailand.

Lynn was also an amazing athlete; skiing, hiking, tennis and swimming were among her favorites. She has skied in Europe as well as the United States with many of her closest friends.

She will be remembered as a loving, caring friend and Aunt. She would send cards and gifts throughout the year and always had someone in mind while going on her many thrift store shopping adventures.

She is survived by her beloved family; sister Teresa Giviens, her niece Kristin Munson (Brandon), her nephews Hilding Munson (Alba), Ryan Giviens, many cousins and a sister in law, Judy Munson.

She is predeceased by her sister, Patrice; and brother, Hilding.

She will be sorely missed by her many loving friends, especially Beverly, Patricia and Virginia.
