In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to St. Jude Children's Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis TN, 38105 Lynne was born on July 1, 1946 to her parents Francisco & Fausta Aguilar in Manila, Philippines. A particularly gifted student, she attended Medical School in the Philippines graduating in just 3 short years. It was there that she would meet Teodoro Mariano, the love of her life. She and Ted would come to the U.S. to complete their Residencies at St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester, NY. Ted and Lynne started their family in Rochester, NY. They had four loving children, all boys, and 8 adoring grandchildren whom she doted upon. As a busy mom and Dr., Lynne always seemed to be on the go. Her position as Chief of Medicine at the Rochester Psychiatric Center certainly fulfilled her dream of being in the medical field, a dream she had since the early age of 5. Her entrepreneurial spirit didn't end there. She owned/operated International Gift Express, Asia-Pacific Travel Agency, and Grandview Florist. She also had a great love of animals. She especially liked cats and dogs. If there was an animal that needed a home it could very likely end up with Lynne. Her children fondly remembered, "mom would bring animals home" and it was very important that "everyone keep the secret," as the animals would start off in the basement. Soon though, they would be brought upstairs and they became a part of the family. Her favorite pets by far were her dog Abby Girl and Bozo the cat. Lynne's creative side could be seen in her love of music and writing. After retiring, she took up the harp and began writing poetry. It is no coincidence that she enjoyed attending concerts, dancing with friends and listening to a wide variety of music, especially religious songs. She and Ted enjoyed travel and did so extensively, especially throughout Europe. On these journeys, they would often find themselves visiting the world's most beautiful and sacred religious places. When they weren't traveling abroad, they enjoyed spending time with family and friends at their vacation home on Keuka Lake. Family and Faith were certainly the center of what mattered most to Lynne. A devout Catholic, she regularly attended Mass and participated in the BLD Prayer Group at church. She regularly prayed the rosary and she had a strong Faith in God and a devotion to the Blessed Mother Mary. Lynne was a devoted and beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend and doctor. Her actions truly showed who she was. She was gentle, patient, compassionate, thoughtful, organized, selfless, courageous, ambitious & generous. Lynne was well loved and she gave her love to all who knew her. Her love and light will continue to shine in all those who knew her. She will be fondly missed!
