Lynn Gomez, an assistant business editor at The South Florida Sun-Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale, has died at the age of 61 after battling cancer.
Sun-Sentinel staff writer Julie Patel writes, “After working for Reuters in London and New York, she moved back to Florida to be closer to her family in 1994. She joined the Sun-Sentinel again as a graphics editor and later became an assistant business editor.
“‘She was a stick of dynamite,’ said Christy Glonek, her sister-in-law. ‘She was really gregarious and outgoing and loved her work.’
“Family and friends say Ms. Gomez’s condominium in Fort Lauderdale was embellished with furniture she had re-upholstered herself, curtains she had sewn and walls she decorated with hand-painted ferns and palm trees.”
