Hazel Lyons

Hazel D. Lyons, 82, of Lonoke went to be with her heavenly Father Saturday, September 19, 2015, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on January 7, 1933, to J.O. and Audrey Cardin of Stuttgart.

She was a member of Mount Carmel Baptist Church and rocked her many babies in the daycare for 19 years. Always with a stash of chocolate, she loved her gospel music, canning and family dinners. Special times for her were spent barefoot, wearing her costume jewelry, and laughing and joking with family and friends.

She is survived by her two sons, Mike (Aree) Lyons of Lexington Park, Maryland, Tommy (Christy) Lyons of Lonoke, one daughter Lori (Art) Cole of Lonoke, and one daughter-in-law Robin Lyons of Hickory Creek, Texas. Also, eight grandchildren, Jennifer Lyons, Janet Lyons, Michael (Molly) Lyons, Jaime Lyons, Matt Lyons, Ben Lyons, Natasha (Brock) Durham, Parker Cole, three great-grandchildren, Emma and Cole Durham, and Fletcher Lyons along with many sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband Henry Lyons, one son, Rodney Lyons, one grandson Jacob Lyons, as well as three brothers and one sister.

Visitation will be held Friday, September 25 from 5-8 p.m. at Boyd Funeral Home in Lonoke.
