A memorial service celebrating Lynn's life will be held on Saturday, December 9th at 1:00 p.m. in the chapel at Lunn's Colonial Funeral Home in Wichita Falls.

      Lynn was born January 4, 1936, in Pauls Valley to Jessie and John Houghlin. She graduated from Pauls Valley High School and the University of Oklahoma with a B.S. degree in Elementary Education. While at OU, Lynn was a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority, BMOC, and Tassels Honorary Society. She danced in Sooner Scandals musical reviews at OU.
      Lynn was a teacher in Midwest City, Oklahoma and Dallas, Texas. She moved to Austin where she taught kindergarten at Good Shepherd Church School and Eanes Elementary in Westlake Hills. She was a teacher for 28 years. One of Lynn's greatest joys was her classroom of children, and she kept in touch with many of her students throughout the years.
      In 1989, Lynn married Fred Bassett and moved to Wichita Falls, where she helped operate the ABC Day Care. She was active in community organizations supporting the performing arts, including the Wichita Falls Ballet Board, Wichita Falls Symphony Board, Wichita Falls Symphony League, and was a long-time co-sponsor of Applause! organization for high school students in the performing arts. Lynn was a member of Floral Heights United Methodist Church, where she was a member of the choir. If it involved music, dance, reading, or any combination of those, Lynn wanted to be involved in some way.
      Lynn was preceded in death by her parents, sister, Johnece Ryerson, and husband Fred Bassett. She is survived by her son Brad Kuehn; brother-in-law Richard Ryerson; niece Julia Lynn Witherington and children Sarah, Elizabeth, and David Witherington; nephew John Ryerson, his wife Amy, and their children Ben, Katherine, and Madeline Ryerson; Fred's children Melanie Wright and husband Greg; Brad Bassett and wife Stacy; grandsons Davis Wright, Brennen Bassett and wife Macy, Parker Bassett, and Carson Bassett; granddaughter Ann-Peyton Wright, two great-grandchildren, and other family members and cherished friends.
