A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, July 10, 2023 at Owens and Brumley Funeral Home in Wichita Falls, Texas with Pastor Chad Stubblefield, officiating.

Lynn was born on October 8, 1948 in Mill Valley, California to Bill and Audrey Gosser and she was also blessed with the most loving, very special “Mom” Evelyn Gosser. She graduated from Tamalpais High School in 1965. After graduating Lynn worked at Bank of America, where a coworker fixed her up on a blind date. She and her blind date, Dennis Longhenry of Cuba City, Wisconsin, who was serving in the United States Air Force and stationed at Hamilton AFB in San Rafael, California. The couple married on December 10, 1971, this was the beginning of the most beautiful and adventurous life.  Dennis’s assignments took them to Okinawa, Japan, where they visited many neighboring countries. Later, stationed at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas and then, to Italy. Family was everything to her. Lynn loved traveling with her family across Europe, going to Lake Garda every day in the summer and just celebrating the Italian way of life.

Lynn loved being a mom, “mimi’ and being by her husband’s side, an Air Force wife. Being an Air Force wife was lonely at times, but there were so many more blessings especially, the beautiful places she visited. After returning to Sheppard Air Force Base, Lynn worked for the Wichita County District Attorney’s office and retired after 26 years of service on October in 2014. Lynn never dreamed she would grow up to have the blessed and beautiful life and family she had. Life was Great!

She was preceded in death by her parents.

Lynn is survived by her husband, Dennis; daughter, Denise Sikes and husband, Andrew; two sons, Chuck, and Robert and wife Amy; six grandchildren: Kylie and husband, Jose Chavez, Daniel, Samuel, Julia, William, and Madelynn; two great-grandchildren, Lucas and Mia Chavez; her special friends: Dee Ann Mejia, Stacie Mahler and Jeannie Binnini Wagner; and many other extended family members who loved her dearly.
