Barbara Dawn Lyons
March 26, 1954 - September 17, 2024
Barbara passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, September 17, 2024. She was born March 26, 1954, in Stockton, CA, to Raymond and Thresa Dane. At the age of 16 she met the love of her life, Gary Lyons, and married on August 25, 1973, a year after graduating from Lodi High School. She worked 40+ years in the food industry, retiring after spending 15 years at Pacific Coast Producers as a food service sales analyst. Barbara is preceded in death by her husband Gary. Although life was different after losing Gary, she found happiness again in her kids, grandchildren, family, and friends. Barbara was loving, sweet, kind, quiet, fun, a friend to many, hardworking, and she LOVED her animals dearly. She is survived by her son Shawn (wife Liesl and kids Jacob, Reagan, and Mason) and daughter Heather (husband Danny Madrid and kids Cody, Hunter, Levi, and baby Madrid), sister Susan Korte (Paul), nieces Cheryl Turner and Karen Baeza and their families, and brother Bruce Dane.
