Lynne Kell

FULTON, KY Kell, Lynne (formerly Holloway and Burnette), 75,
died Tuesday, August 31, 2021, at Diversicare Healthcare
& Rehabilitation Center in Martin, Tennessee.

Lynne was born and raised in Fulton, Kentucky. In 1968,
she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in English from Murray
State University and then subsequently earned a master’s degree
in Education from Georgetown College (Ky.). In the early 70’s,
she moved to Frankfort, Kentucky where she taught middle school,
and later, high school English in the Franklin County Public School
System for approximately 25 years before moving back to Fulton
after retiring from teaching.

Lynne was a stickler for proper grammar and cherished literature,
the humanities, and the arts. She loved teaching and working with her
colleagues, many of whom became her dearest and closest friends. But,
more importantly, she truly loved trying to make a difference in the
lives of her students. In addition to her years of service to education,
Lynne was a caring and devoted mother, grandmother, and wife. She
was also a life long member of the Christian Church, Disciples of Christ.

She is survived by her loving husband, Jerry Kell; her son and daughter-in-law,
Brian and Amy Burnette of Jeffersonville, Indiana, as well as their two children, Jill
and Teddy; her step-son, Brad Kell, and his wife, Staci, of Draffenville, Kentucky; her
step-son, Matt Kell, of Water Valley, Kentucky; her brother, R.E. Holloway of Escondido,
California; and two nieces and one nephew as well as their families.

She is preceded in death by her parents, W.E. and Lucille Holloway.

Funeral services will be held at 1PM Saturday in our funeral chapel with burial to
follow in the Greenlea Cemetery. Visitation will be held at the funeral home from 11AM
Saturday until the hour of service.
