Sidney Lynn Smith, 78, of the Fairmount Community in Hemphill, Texas passed away Thursday, February 24, 2022 at Sabine County Hospital.
Lynn was born in Fairmount, Texas on June 3, 1943 to Fred D. Smith and Laverne Clark Smith.
He was a lifetime resident of Sabine County and had served his country as a member of the United States Army. He served Sabine County as County Commissioner for Precinct 2 for many years and he was a long time member of East Mayfield Baptist Church.
Lynn was a wise and prudent man and he taught his children that value of hard work. He woke up every morning with one thought in mind and that was "who can I help today". He was not a perfect man but he was redeemed by Jesus and that is the most important thing. He had battled Parkinson's for the last eight years of his life, but Parkinson's did not win. He always had and continued to love his family deeply, take care of his place and, of course, his grandchildren.
He is survived by his wife, Dixie Smith of Fairmount, his son, Steve R. Smith of Fairmount, his daughters, Cindy Box and husband, David, of Huntington, Texas and Sheila Cowee and husband, David, of Douglas, Texas, brother, Tommy R. Smith and wife, Belinda, of Lufkin, his sister, Glynda "Guinnie" Smith of Jasper;, Texas, grandchildren, Laura, Allison, Mariah, Danielle and Eli and seven great grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parent Fred and Laverne Smith and sister, Lanell Smith.
A Memorial Service for Lynn will begin at 2pm, Sunday, February 27, 2022 at Starr Funeral Home Chapel, 510 Starr Street, Hemphill, Texas with Brother Eddie Ballard and Brother Gene Lee officiating.
