Betty “Lynne” (Bell) Hearn passed away at her home in Goliad, TX on December 28, 2024.  She was 77 years old.  Lynne was born December 4, 1947 and was the daughter of the late L’Roy, Sr. and Betty Bell of Port O’Connor, TX. She is preceded in death by her husband Richard Hearn and grandson Robbie Dendy.  Her life will forever be cherished in the lives of her children: Lisa (Mark) Baumann of Fort Worth, TX and Matthew White of Goliad, TX and her granddaughter Adele “Adie” Hawley of Fort Worth, TX. Also surviving her are her two brothers: L’Roy, Jr. (Liz) Bell and Steve (Susan) Bell and sister Shotsie Thumann. Her nieces and nephews: Denise Sandy, Sabrina Bell, David Bell, Brian Thumann and of fond remembrance the late Stanley “Bubba” Thumann, Jr. and Stevie Bell.

Lynne was born in Victoria, TX and through her father’s military career lived in places like Vienna, Germany, and a number of states before the family settled in Port O’Connor, TX.  She and Richard were married on October 17, 1983 and moved to Goliad in 1985. It was there that they shared the love of being in the country, raising animals and enjoying the peace and quiet.  Lynne was never one for sitting for very long.  If it had a root, she could grow it, inheriting the “green thumb” from her mother, and creativity was her real middle name as she always had multiple projects going.  She was a true artist in many mediums.

Memorial services will be held January 25, 2025 at the Port O’Connor Community Center, 3674 W. Adams Street, Port O’Connor, TX 77982 at 1pm. We hope you can join her family in this celebration of life.
