Jean Lynn Frisenda, 66, of Cold Spring, died May 3, 2017.
Jean Lynn was born Dec. 25, 1950, in North Tarrytown, the daughter of Arthur and Doris Sullivan. She graduated from Ossining High School in 1969, and on Sept. 4, 1971, married Joseph Frisenda in Briarcliff Manor.

Jean Lynn’s greatest joy was being a mother and grandmother. She was a wonderful friend to so many, always quick to lend a hand, and could liven up a room with her presence and wonderful sense of humor. She will be remembered for her big heart, giving spirit and incredible kindness.
