💙 In Loving Memory of Lin Curran 💙
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Lin Curran, a longtime and deeply respected member of the Hammer & NER family.
Lin dedicated more than 38 years of her life to this organization and to the people we support. From the earliest days of NER to the evolution into Hammer & NER, Lin was a steady and guiding presence—someone who helped shape not only our operations, but our culture, values, and mission.
A tireless advocate for people with disabilities, Lin made this work her life’s calling. She was a mentor, innovator, problem-solver, and leader who led by example. Her vision helped establish key areas including IT, Quality Assurance, and Operations, and her influence continues to be felt in the way we think critically, grow as professionals, and serve with integrity.
Even after retiring last year, Lin remained deeply connected to the people she supported and the colleagues she worked alongside—relationships that meant so much to her.
Lin passed away peacefully earlier this week, surrounded by her family and loved ones. We ask that you keep Lin’s family—including her husband Fred and daughters Mandi and Brion—and all who loved her in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Lin’s legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched and the organization she helped build. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
Our Hammer Residences, Inc. page is now our primary social channel, and we’re sharing this message here as well to honor Lin’s deep roots with NER.
