Lynn Yamada Davis, a TikTok creator who entertained millions with her zany style and cooking tips on her account, Cooking With Lynja, died on 1 January in Red Bank, New Jersey. She was 67 years old.

The cause of death, at Riverview Medical Center, was esophageal cancer, said his daughter Hannah Mariko Shofet. Ms. Davis lived in Holmdel, New Jersey

Mrs. Davis began creating the wholesome Cooking With Lynja videos in 2020 with her youngest child, Tim Davis, to help her maintain her filmmaking skills during the pandemic lockdown.

Her social media accounts remained active after her death, as she had asked her son to post previously edited videos. One such video shows the two of them searching for truffles in Italy.

"My mother was like my partner in crime," Mr. Davis, 27, who edited the TikTok account, said in a telephone interview.
