Patricia "Patsy" Ann Lyons, of Bellefontaine, Ohio and formerly of Rushsylvania, Ohio went home to be with the Lord, December 22, 2019.

Patsy was born in Bellefontaine August 2, 1928, a daughter of the late Chauncey E. Beck and Neva Maree Kaylor.

She graduated in 1947 from Rushsylvania and went on to marry Robert W. Lyons August 21, 1949 and have two children. He proceeded her in death along with three brothers, Roger (Choice) Beck, Marion (Vera) Beck, and infant Larry Beck and two sisters, Carol (Bo) Wells and Sybil (Richard) James.

Patsy was a member of the Rushyslvania United Methodist Church, UMW (United Methodist Women's group), and the Rhoda Circle. She would always say she loved her family more than anything in the world but she also enjoyed going to church, reading, antiquing, watching OSU basketball, playing the piano (including teaching for twenty five years) and getting to go out with "the girls" her beloved lifelong friends.

Friends may call Saturday, October 3, 2020, at the Rushsylvania United Methodist Church from 12 noon to 1 p.m.  Due to current pandemic guidelines, please be symptom-free, practice social distancing and consider wearing a mask.
