Lyndell attended school and graduated from Shattuck High School. She then attended Northwestern Oklahoma State University graduating with a bachelor's degree in education.

On October 26, 1962, she was united in marriage to Walter Marion Howell in Catesby, Oklahoma. To this marriage two children were born, Scott and Kristi.
