American actress Kristin Chenoweth paid tribute to her biological mother Lynn in an Instagram post on Sunday following the latter's death. Kilgore News Herald reported that Kristin was five days old when she was adopted by Junie and Jerry Chenoweth. It is worth noting that Kristin hadn't met her mother until 2012.
In her tribute to her mother, the actress shared pictures through her official Instagram page. In the caption, she wrote about the things that she found out about Lynn after meeting her. Kristin wrote that everyone who knew Lynn "loved her light" and knew about her love for music and everything artistic." Calling her an artist, Kristin noted that her mother had two other children Jennifer and Chris, whom she loved dearly.
She added:
"In her belly, I became fans of Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan, Doyle Bramhall, Jimi Hendrix, and, of course, Billy Ethridge – my bio dad. The two of them gave me the innate artistic ability I have today."
Kristin wrote that Lynn used to pray for her on her birthdays to ensure that she was living a perfect life. She added that she also did the same for Lynn and ended the tribute by stating that she will miss her forever.
