CarolynLyonCarolyn Jane (Jones) Lyon, 72, of Animas, N.M., died peacefully May 18, 2015, at Gila Regional Medical Center. Her husband was by her side. A Memorial Service was held at 1 p.m. Thursday, May 21, at Lordsburg Funeral Home, 408 Main St., in Lordsburg.

She was born June 3, 1942, in San Diego, Calif. She spent a large part of her childhood living on a farm outside New Hartford, Iowa. The family returned to California when she was 14 and settled in El Cajon.

She was a person of many talents including singing, creating unique miniatures, designing and making clothes, and painting to name a few. She was reluctant to share these many talents, and did so with only a few carefully chosen friends and family members.
