Louise Lyons, devoted to family
Louise Lyons, 82, of Millsboro, passed away peacefully at her home the morning of Sunday, Feb. 23, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.
Louise was predeceased by her husband of 61 years, John. She is survived by her three children, John E. Lyons (Ellen), Michael Lyons and Catherine Lyons; her two sisters, Elizabeth Davis and Janet Stettler; six grandchildren, Nicholas Lyons, Kaitlin Knox (Kevin), Morgan Lyons, Michael Lyons, Ryan Johnson and Ashley Lyons; and two great-granddaughters, Liliana and Carys Knox.
Louise was a loving mother whose world revolved around her family. Always a trusted confidant, Louise took great pride in making sure her family was cared for and was never in need. As a homemaker, Louise was a jack of all trades, interior designer, landscaper, chef, painter, accountant, and diplomat. She was also a great mentor and advisor to her family, providing words of encouragement and life lessons to four generations.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Tunnell Cancer Center and Dr. Fadi Damouni for their compassionate help and support throughout this trying time.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m., Monday, March 10, at Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery, 26669 Patriots Way, Millsboro.
