The internet’s favorite cooking grandma, Lynja, has passed away at 67.
A throat cancer survivor whose battle with the disease left her with a distinctive voice she likened to Marge Simpson’s, Lynja (aka Lynn Yamada Davis) was an MIT alum and civil engineer who originally started posting videos in 2020 so her son Tim Davis could improve his videography skills during Covid quarantines. Their eccentric, energetic, and often meme-filled clips ended up netting Lynja nearly 40 million followers across YouTube and TikTok.
She passed away Jan. 1 of esophageal cancer.
“I’m super sad to inform you that unfortunately, Linda, my mom, has passed away,” Tim said in a video posted to the CookingWithLynja TikTok. “Her final moments were super peaceful, and thankfully she was surrounded by the people she loved most—her friends and family.”
@cookingwithlynjaYou’re the best mom I could have ever asked for but an even better friend.
