Eileen E. (Russell) Lynch, of Duxbury, formerly of Hingham, died peacefully Thursday, October 20, 2022, at the Dwyer Home in Weymouth surrounded by her family.  She was 79. 

Born in Quincy on June 3, 1943, she was a daughter of the late William and Eileen (Scribner) Russell. Eileen was raised in Hull, attended local schools, and graduated from Hull High School. She worked in the Emergency Room at Newton Wellesley Hospital for many years until retirement. Eileen loved her career and the friendships she built while working at Newton Wellesley that continued after retirement. 

Eileen will most be remembered for her devotion to her faith, family and shopping. Eileen’s most cherished role in life was that of “Gram”. After retiring Eileen would spend most of her free time with her grandchildren and could always be found in the stands of their sporting events.
