Ishpeming- Clarice "Kay" (DeVold) Lyons, age 69, went peacefully into the arms of her Lord July 22,
2007, at Marquette General Hospital surrounded by her loving family after a sudden and brave
battle with cancer.

Kay was born September 24, 1937, the youngest daughter of Ione (Wiik) and

after became an airline hostess for American Airlines in Dallas, Texas. She married the love of
her life, Charles Lyons, Sr., on August 25, 1956, in Ishpeming. For several years she worked for
Globe Printing in Ishpeming as a bindery person. She was a tireless volunteer at Trinity Lutheran
Church where she served as a mailing worker, greeter, Synod volunteer, and member of the
"Good-bye Girls" who serve lunch and clean up for every funeral at the church. Kay loved
baking, cooking, New York Times crossword puzzles, crocheting, knitting, reading, and most of
all doing for her family. She was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend who
will be dearly missed by all.

"Skip" (Marci) Lyons, Jr., Virginia "Ginny" (Tony) Tippett, Cynthia "Cindy" (Douglas) Alspach,
