Lynn worked for many years at Elberton Mills; however, she is most remembered as a paraprofessional at Falling Creek Elementary School, from where she retired after 28 years of service. She loved her family dearly, and cherished her time fishing with her beloved husband Jimmy.

Along with her husband and parents, she is preceded in death by her siblings and their spouses: Syretha and Grady “Bud” Cline and Jimmy and Doris Dixon; and step-son, David Jones.
The family will receive friends on Wednesday, July 9, from 1:00-1:45p.m. at Berry Funeral Home. Funeral services, officiated by Pastor Travis Cox and Pastor Tim Adams, will follow at 2:00p.m. in the funeral home chapel. Burial will be in Elmhurst Cemetery.
