Opera singer - Born in Slater, Mo., where her father (Standford T. Lyne) was an osteopathic physician, moved to Kansas City, graduated Central High School, studied voice in Paris, spoke French and Italian. Her opera debut was in 1911 in London as Gilda in “Rigoletto.” In 1912 she returned to Kansas City to sing at the Convention Hall. Miss Lyne divided her time between London and Paris from 1916 until 1932 when she returned to the United States in poor health.
Felice died on 1 September 1935 at her parents’ home at 735 Hamilton Street in Allentown, Pennsylvania and was buried in Grandview Cemetery there. A few weeks later on November 20, her remains were exhumed and re-interred in Kansas City in a plot at Forest Hill Cemetery where eventually both of her parents were laid to rest.
On September 24, 1941, Dr. Sanford Lyne then in San Bernardino, California and having recently lost his wife, decided to donate his daughter’s memorabilia to the Kansas City Public Library. The collection contained four scrapbooks, 410 pieces of sheet music, collected during Miss Lyne’s career spanning from 1910 to 1932, boots she wore in Rigoletto and 54 copies of her concert and operatic scores. The distinctive boots have since disappeared from the collection. A large collection of Lyne material is also in the main New York library.
