At age one, Lynne’s family was transferred to Lake Charles, Louisiana where she attended public schools and graduated from Lake Charles High School in 1959 with many honors. Lynne enjoyed the culture of Southern Louisiana and continued to express her love of much laughter and great food. Lynne grew up in the Presbyterian Church and graduated from Austin College with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Elementary Education in 1963. While attending college there, she was the president of her sorority and head majorette. After Lynne’s graduation, she began her teaching career with Dallas ISD and later with Tyler ISD and retired after a 30-year career from Lindale ISD.
