Lynwood D. Thomasee, 72, was born on September 19, 1941 in Cloutierville, LA. He fought and won his battle on Saturday, February 8th to join the love of his life Joy Lea Howell who preceded him in death. He retired from the City of Natchitoches after many years of service. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, sibling and friend. He will be sincerely missed by all that knew him. Lynwood will be remembered for the magnificent ability to lay it on thick, his teasing and for his fun sense of humor. He retained the ability to supervise and direct any project that anyone was working on whether or not assistance was needed or asked for. He didn’t bite his tongue and meant exactly what he said, always with a smile and a wink. He had a green thumb and was obsessed with working in the yard, shelling pecans and bird watching. Those left to cherish are his four daughters, Beverly Sparks, Julie Kim, Donna and Pam Thomasee all of Natchitoches. Grandchildren: Hollie, Hilari, Hannah, Jeffrey, Keith Michael II “Little Man“. Great-grandchildren: London, Abbey and Peyton. He is survived by his three siblings; Emma Douglas of Tyler, TX, Betty Bolton of Mora & Billy Thomasee of Pineville. He will likewise be missed by David “Red“, Cecil, Keith, Corbett & Jimmy. There are far too many relatives and friends to mention that have shed tears and loved him. The family wishes to thank everyone for all the prayers and support over the years, The Promise Hospital in Shreveport for their loving care of our Daddy and a special thank you to Dr. Huan Le for his compassion and kindness. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to Exchange Bank & Trust for the future memorial scholarship in Lynwood & Joy Thomasee’s name.
