Lynn Eagles

Lynn was born on the 1st of December 1942, in Patterson, Louisiana, to Fred Allen Mensman and Virginia Nuttall Mensman and lived in Houston.

Our mother had a deep love for both her family and exploring the world alongside our father. She was the cornerstone of our family, always there to lend a listening ear and provide support. Not only did she bring immense joy, happiness, and creativity to all our family gatherings, but she also held a strong spiritual connection as a godly woman, continuously praying for the well-being of her loved ones, including her sisters and friends.

Our mother had a passion for dancing, and she and our dad were always the life of the party, being the first ones to hit the dance floor at any event. Known for her happiness and mischievous nature, she never failed to bring some excitement to our lives. We will miss her joyful smile and her loving kindness.

Lynn is survived by her daughters, Jerri Sweet and her husband Scott, Donna Arnold and her husband Todd, Mamie Rittiman and her husband Darrell; as well as her five grandchildren, Taylor Arnold, Austin Arnold, Jack Powell, Annabelle Powell, and Bo Rittiman.
