Lynda was born February 26, 1939 in Abilene, Texas to John Edward Lynch, Jr., and wife Florence Lucille (Hubert) Lynch.

She graduated from Albany High School in 1957, where Lynda and her high school sweetheart, Bobby Allman were active in school (she was a majorette, he was a football player). The couple married July 22, 1957 in Albany, Texas. During their 58 years of marriage, the couple produced two children, two grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

Lynda was a member of First Baptist Church in Bridgeport, and a former member of First Presbyterian Church in Albany.

She was a loving mom, grandmother, great-grandmother, and sister and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Lynda was a master chef at making pies, cheese rolls and many other delectable dishes.

Her laughter was contagious, along with her smile. Her kindness was always there with an open heart, and if someone needed anything she would go out of her way to help, no matter who it was.
