Lynne B Byrd

Lynne entered into her Heavenly rest on July 5, 2024. Her adored husband Noah of 42 years preceded her in death. Lynne was born to A.D. and Dixie Barfield in 1939. She lived in Atlanta her entire life and was very proud of being "Southern". She also leaves two sons, Dixon Patrick and David Patrick, step-daughter Deborah Butler, Grandchildren Sarah Crawford, Samantha Patrick, Brenda Iglesias, two great grandchildren, Bailee Crawford, Marilee Fisher, and Sister in-law Colleen.

Lynne graduated from Henry Grady High School in 1957. Lynne had two distinct careers, one in the medical field working with prominent Atlanta doctors, and a second career was working with Noah at Byrd Realty for over twenty six years where she specialized in selling historic homes. Lynne was co-founder of the Dunwoody Preservation Trust and put three historic Dunwoody properties on the National Register of Historic Places. She was a long-time member of Dunwoody United Methodist Church. Never afraid to tackle something new, Lynne decided late in life that she wanted to be an author. So, she was co-author of the History of Dunwoody - Part II, with Joyce Amacher, and published three additional books on her own.

A memorial service will be held at Dunwoody United Methodist Church at 1548 Mt. Vernon road, Dunwoody Ga. 30338, on Aug 17, 2024 at 10:00am and reception to follow 11:00 to 12:00 in the church parlor. In lieu of flower, Lynne asked that contributions be made to the Dunwoody United Methodist Church chancel choir fund.
