Lynn was a wise and prudent man and he taught his children that value of hard work. He woke up every morning with one thought in mind and that was "who can I help today". He was not a perfect man but he was redeemed by Jesus and that is the most important thing. He had battled Parkinson's for the last eight years of his life, but Parkinson's did not win. He is completely healed now. He always had and continued to love his family deeply, take care of his place and, of course, his grandchildren.
He is survived by his wife, Dixie Smith of Fairmount; son, Steve R. Smith of Fairmount; daughters, Cindy Box and husband, David, of Huntington and Sheila Cowee and husband, David, of Douglass; brother, Tommy R. Smith and wife, Belinda, of Lufkin; sister, Glynda "Guinnie" Smith of Jasper; grandchildren, Laura, Allison, Mariah, Danielle, and Eli; and seven great grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Laverne Smith and sister, Lanell Smith.
A Memorial Service for Lynn will begin at 2:00 p.m. Sunday, February 27, 2022 at Starr Funeral Home Chapel, 510 Starr Street, Hemphill, Texas with Bro. Eddie Ballard and Bro. Gene Lee officiating.
It is his family's request, that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions instead be made to East Mayfield Baptist Church.
