Doris Marie Lyon (Robertson) peacefully went to be with her Lord on Monday, August 7th, 2023 at 91 years old. Preceding her are siblings Walter (Ron) Robertson, Davey Robertson, and her husband, Richard F. Lyon (1993).
Doris was born April 26th, 1932 to Walter and Evadine (Bedwell) Robertson. She grew up in Toledo, Ohio and attended Scott High School. She was an art major and was hired by Toledo Edison shortly after as a draftsman; she was likely the only female at that time. She was married twice and had two daughters. She was a homemaker for many years while they were young and then worked at Myer's Fireplaces in the early 1970's.
She was active at Epiphany Lutheran Church until 1980 and then became a member of Holland Free Methodist Church, where she faithfully served and attended. She prayed and spent time in her Bible daily. She was a constant encourager, led group studies, and participated in whatever need she could find to fill. She was gentle, kind, and compassionate.A true joy to be around.
She loved the outdoors and was often found gardening, camping, swimming, fishing, boating, and taking motorcycle trips with Dick. She also enjoyed crocheting, sewing, baking, and reading. She was an excellent artist, drawing and painting many treasured pieces over the years. She also started a weekly game day with her girlfriends that lasted decades. She liked to play cards and games with her grandchildren and great grandchildren as well. She found a lot of joy and purpose in helping others. She regularly drove friends and family to appointments, took them shopping, and babysat both her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She excelled at loving others and was well-loved in return.

2 Daughters: Debra Sommer (Erich), and Roberta Ilsley.
