Lynne Herndon Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 12, 2023.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our Mother Lynne Rike Herndon of Nashville, TN on Dec. 8, 2023. She was 91 years old. Born November 11, 1932 to Kenneth Floyd Rike and Pauline Sturm Rike. Lynne was raised in Sidney, Ohio. After graduating from Sidney High School, Lynne studied music at Muskingum University. After marriage and eventual residence in Nashville, Lynne would enjoy working in several capacities. She was an administrative assistant with the Department of Psychiatry at Vanderbilt University for many years. Lynne would go to say that her most rewarding job and happiest times were when at home raising her four children.

Lynne is preceded in death by her parents, her husband William Horace Herndon, her former husband Alonzo John Lindsey, infant son Christopher Allen Lindsey, sister Corlyss Dillard, brother-in-law Kenneth Dillard and sister-in-law Linda Massie.

Lynne will be remembered for numerous hobbies and passions which include love of classical music, playing her cello, piano, love of flowers, and creative writing. Her most memorable attribute is that of being a wonderful human being that we will love forever.

A memorial service will be conducted Saturday, December 16th 2023, 2:30 p.m. in the Scales Chapel at West End United Methodist Church, 2200 West End Avenue, Nashville, TN. A visitation will be held beforehand between 1:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.
