Lynn Davis Deas[1] (June 16, 1952 – May 10, 2020)[2][3] was a professional American bridge player.
Already an avid bridge player, she played "all the time" when broken bones and blurry vision forced her to take one-year leave from school, and subsequently decided to drop out in favor of the card game as a career.
[7] At one time Deas ranked first among Women World Grand Masters.
[6] At the inaugural SportAccord World Mind Games in Beijing, December 2011, Deas and Beth Palmer won the "Pairs Women" gold medal.
Not a world championship meet, the SportAccord WMG invited 24 women from Great Britain, France, China, and the U.S. to compete in three small tournaments as four national teams, twelve pairs, and 24 individuals.
