Lynette began her teaching career at Taylorsville High School where she taught English-Literature for over 40 years.

During her teaching career, Mrs. Moore received the honor of Star Teacher numerous times.  Lynette was an active officer and member of Delta Kappa Gamma International Society for women educators. She and Bobbie enjoyed attending USM football games and travel.

Lynette was a lifetime member of the Burns Baptist Church, Burns, Mississippi and served as the Church pianist for several years.
