Colleagues,

Please join me in welcoming Susan Lynch as the newest Regional Director of Development on the Illinois Region! A native of Detroit, Michigan, Susan’s father was a Notre Dame graduate (Class of 1957) and her two sisters attended St. Mary’s College (Mary Ann Lynch Quinn, Class of 1987; Cathleen Lynch Bottini Class of 1991). She was raised on the tradition of Notre Dame.

Susan is a graduate of Marquette University (1988) and Fordham University School of Law (1995), and has been practicing law since 1996. Simultaneous with this law practice of 24 years, Susan has served as a real estate broker, a Managing Broker for Sotheby’s and a Real Estate Developer. She has spent the last nine years owning an Estate Liquidation Business in Chicago called Tilly Vintage (voted by Chicago Magazine as 2019’s Best Vintage Shop).

Her husband, Morgan Fingleton, hails from Roscommon County, Ireland and is a full-time musician with his own recording studio, playing live music throughout the Midwest. Like most parents they are beyond proud of their two sons, Darragh (age 15) and Eoin (“Owen”) age 12.

Her first day in the South Bend office will be Monday, March 23, 2020 but she will also be attending the Fundraiser Meetings in early March so say hello when you see her. Susan is beyond excited to relocate to South Bend, Indiana, where she says, “I am bringing my family home.”
