Lynn Friedl Trammell Burr, 83, peacefully passed away on July 24, 2024. Born in 1940 in Fort Worth, she grew up in Houston, raised by R.C. “Duke” and Helen Friedl alongside her brother, Duke Friedl, and sister, Laurel Darr, whom she both loved dearly. In her youth, Lynn served in the Masonic Order of the Rainbow for Girls.

Lynn married her high school sweetheart, Cecil Brian “C.B.” Trammell, in 1957 and they raised three children, Shelba Jones, Bret Trammell, and Bart Trammell in Houston and Cleveland, TX. Though they parted ways, Lynn and her previous husband remained good friends until his passing in 2014. Lynn retired from Southwestern Bell Telephone Company in 1991 after 34 years where she worked as a telephone operator, business office trainer, and sales business manager. After retirement, Lynn continued her involvement in Eastern Star, Daughters of the Nile, and Red Hat Ladies where she met many beloved, long-time friends.

In 1994, Lynn married Gene Burr who loved and adored her until his passing in 1998. They lived a beautiful life in New Braunfels on the Comal River. When they were not enjoying their coffee and watching tourists float by, they spent their time traveling and staying involved in their local Methodist church. Lynn spent her final years in Houston surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who love her and will miss her dearly.
