Lynette was born in Winona, Mississippi on July 12, 1963 and lived most of her life in Shreveport. She combined her artistic talents and her love of children in her chosen career as an O.T.  She held a degree in Occupational Therapy from Louisiana State University School of Allied Health and spent her last five years devoted to improving the lives of area children through her work in the pediatric and neonatal units at LSU Medical Center.

Lynette's courage was a source of inspiration to all who knew her.  Evidence of her abundant talents can be seen in the many lives she touched and the many creative works of art she left to be enjoyed.
