After graduating from BYU with her degree in Elementary Education, she spent a year in Japan teaching in the Air Force Dependent Schools. This experience instilled in her a love of travel for the rest of her life. She was a beautiful seamstress, and sewed many lovely things for her children and grandchildren. Many of her family members have beautiful quilts that she lovingly made. She grew a beautiful garden each summer when she lived in her home in Rose Park, and had beautiful flower beds everywhere she lived. She loved flowers. She was a fabulous cook, and loved to share her delicious soups and homemade bread with her friends and neighbors. She continued to serve others even while living in her apartment at Legacy Village Assisted Living, teaching her loving Spanish-speaking aides how to read English. She taught elementary school, mostly 3rd grade, for 31 years.
She is survived by her brother Mark Lyon, and sister Ann (Richard) Conley, daughters Cynthia Jone (Don) Gaisford, Claudia Joy (Grietus) Streuper, Yvonne Rae (Ronnie) Jensen, and son Melvin Don Fisher (Peter Perez). She has 8 beautiful grandchildren, and 11 beautiful great grandchildren.
