Support for Lynn Gilliland's Daughters

On October 16, 2022, the sweet and wonderful Lynn Gilliland suddenly passed after an accident crossing the street at St. Pete Beach.

Lynn was a beloved mother, friend, and community member, beloved by all who knew her. Her sunny personality, infectious laugh and caring nature were a rare combination. She made people feel like they were friends immediately; she had a way of making others feel seen. Lynn was very active within her favorite community, The St Pete Girl Bosses, a popular female entrepreneurship support group of which she was one of the first members. Through her networks, Lynn spread love, joy, and her BIG FUN philosophy. We are struggling to make sense of her loss.

Lynn leaves behind her daughters Margo and Hannah. Her girls were so important to her, and we know they will need resources for Lynn's final expenses, memorial, and their own lives as they process and recover from this incredible loss.

Margo, at 21, is the young business owner of the CBD shop The Goods in St Petersburg; Lynn was instrumental in helping Margo use her extensive CBD knowledge to help others. She was a tireless advocate for mental wellness and an ardent supporter of Margo-- you would often hear her talking about her daughter and about her business with love and pride. Margo will be faced with the task of carrying on her business without Lynn, and this will most definitely take time and money.

We ask that you consider donating or sharing to help care for Lynn's girls as she did with such love and care when she was here with us.

There is also a grant fund established in her name through the Global Girl Boss Foundation. The Foundation will award the Lynn Gilliand Wellness Grant to a brick-and-mortar wellness business once a year in Lynn's honor to reflect the love she had for her entrepreneurship community. No one gave as beautifully as Lynn. For information regarding this grant or to give, please visit www.stpetegirlboss.com/girls-to-the-rescue, and click on "Lynn Gilliland Grant Fund."
