Mary Lyons, passed away peacefully on April 23rd, 2021. She was born in Adel, Iowa, on March 15, 1923. Mary was a graduate of Winterset High School. She married the love of her life, Jerry J. Lyons in 1942. She retired from Meredith Corporation. Mary was the matriarch of our family. She was a dedicated mother and grandmother first and foremost. She treasured her children and grandchildren and embraced every moment with them. Mary especially loved her role as “GMA”. She was a social butterfly with a vivacious personality who always made people around her laugh. Mary loved to dance, play cards, and travel.

She was preceded in death by her parents; all eight of her siblings; and all three of her children, Anne Marie, Larry and Mark.

Mary is survived by her eight grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; eight great-great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. All of these she loved and touched deeply.
