Early life


Elizabeth Lynch was from Lawrence, Massachusetts, the daughter of Michael Francis Lynch and Abigail F. Scott Lynch.




Career


Pillion was a chemist at the United States Army's Quartermaster Research and Engineering Command in Natick, Massachusetts. Much of her work involved studying storage and cleaning methods for feeding and hydration systems in extreme environments. In 1962 she received the Research Directors' Award for her work on a spectrophotometric correction technique for identifying ingredients in disinfectants and other solutions.
Pillion's research was published in scholarly journals including Analytical Chemistry, Journal of Chromatographic Science, Military Medicine, and Applied Microbiology.
