May Belle Lyons Graham's Obituary
May Belle Lyons Graham was born May 16, 1926, in Frederick, Oklahoma, to a loving family of one brother and three sisters. She went to be with our Lord on August 26, 2017, surrounded by her loved ones at the age of 91. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
May met and married the love of her life, Oscar Lyons, at a very young age. May held her family close and traveled many times with her husband and two kids, Larry and Sharon, during her husband's deployment with the military. She dedicated her life to her family and did so with a sweet spirit. Later in life she met and married TJ Graham with whom she completed her life in Sherman until he went home to the Lord. She was an excellent cook, loved to travel and to play card games and dominoes. She also enjoyed serving her church. Her sweet spirit and gregarious nature led her to make friends wherever she went.
May is survived by her son, Larry J. Lyons and wife, Jeannie, of Sherman, step-sons, Kenneth Graham and TJ Graham, both of Sherman, and by her brother, Jimmy Thornhill of El Paso. May is also survived by her grandchildren, Paula Moore of Denison, Donna Fonville of Oklahoma, Kristy Lyons-Buck of Grand Junction, CO, James Lyons of Denton, Sarah Lyons-Cahill of Sherman, Sandy Goodale of California, and Kenneth Lee Graham of Sherman, as well as by a number of great grandchildren. She was loved by all.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husbands, her sisters, Mary, Joyce, and Martha, and by her daughter, Sharon Sutton.
Services will be held at 10:00 AM Wednesday, Sept. 6, at Kentuckytown Baptist Church, Whitewright, TX, under the direction of Pastor Dr. Greg Allen and Rev. Rodney Stanford. May will be laid to rest next to her late husband, TJ Graham and late daughter, Sharon Sutton, at Cedarlawn Memorial Park in Sherman. Pallbearers will be great grandsons, Chayse Parker of Sherman and Jakob Best of San Antonio, Curtis Miller, Hunter Stiles, and Kevin Fonville.
Music will be provided by youth minister Hunter Stiles.
