LYONS, ALBERT CHARLES

On March 31, 2020, Charles Albert Lyons, a longtime member of the Westlock community, finished his 91-year earthly race, crossed the finish line, and is now present with the Lord.

Albert, our Dad, was a man of faith who lived well and finished well. He never had a blog or wrote a book, yet his life was a living epistle of love for his wife Dorothy, of 71 years; his children, their children, and grandchildren; as well as his extended family (and those who feel like part of his family, well…you know who you are). 

Dad had a quiet sense of humor, and he loved to travel. On their 70th Wedding anniversary, he brought those two characteristics together and asked Mom if she would like to take a trip to Australia to celebrate. The family just smiled. 

Dad was predeceased by his parents, Albert (Bert) and Christina Lyons, his brother Mac, his sister Margaret, and his granddaughter Allison.

He will be dearly missed by his wife Dorothy (Letts), and their children; Judy (George) Bennett, Virginia (John) Friesen, Margaret Anne (Jay) Gurnett, Harold (Sharon) Lyons, Norma (Gary) Calderwood; his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; his sister Beth (Park) Letts; sister-in-law Jean Cameron; as well as in-laws Jim & Caroline Letts and Alex & Peggy Letts.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: Nehemiah Construction (which drills water wells in Kenya, Africa), Box 23029, Medicine Hat, AB T1B 4C7 or: nehemiahconstruction.ca; Or to: Hazel Bluff Community Ag Society, Box  5402, Westlock, AB T7P 2P5 (for the Hazel Bluff Community Centre); OR a charity of your choice. 

The pandemic has made it necessary to postpone any kind of memorial service at this time.
