Hubert Oscar Lyon

On the evening of October 3, 2024, Mr. Hubert Oscar Lyon entered his heavenly home. He was born on February 21, 1931, to the late James Elma Lyon and Lillian Pratt Lyon. He was proceeded in death by his twin infant sons; brothers, Sherman Lyon, Alvin Lyon, and Dallas Lyon, and sisters, Elva Lyon, and Wavie Lyon Stephens.

Throughout his life, Hubert was known as being a humble and hard-working man who desired to serve God. He was a long-time member at Smith River Church of the Brethren, where he served as deacon, treasurer, and sang in the choir. Hubert’s love and dedication for his family was seen through his roles of being a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He enjoyed the beauty of nature, and being outside working on his farm and riding his horses. He also enjoyed hobbies such as wood carving, riding his 4-wheeler and playing his harmonica. In 1994 after a long career, he retired from Liberty Fabrics. 

Hubert will be greatly missed by all those that knew and loved him. Left behind to cherish his memory is his loving wife of 73 years, Evadell Rorrer Lyon; sons and daughter-in-law, David Lyon of Woolwine, VA, Timothy Lyon (Christina) of Youngsville, NC; daughter and son-in-law, Amy Mangrum (Bobby) of Woolwine VA; grandchildren, Audrey Mangrum Jones (Tony), James Mangrum (Courtney), Kayla Lyon Bailey (Jonas), Rachel Lyon and Drew Lyon; and great-grandchildren, Alyssa Jones, Noah Jones, Ian Jones, Evelyn Mangrum, future Mangrum great-grandson, Addison Bailey, Luke Bailey, and numerous nieces and nephews.

A Word of Thanks for Thanksgiving Day and Every Day

Thank you Dear Lord for our daily bread, for this soft pillow and a roof over our head.

Thank you for life, and thank you for your love during trouble and strife.                                                                                               

Thank you for sunshine and summers cool breeze, and give us grace that you we may please.

Thank you for the flowers that bloom by the road, for rest when we are weary and help with our load.

Thank you for the blessings that you have in store, and may we always thank you before we ask for more.

Now when our journey is over and before you we stand, may we hear these words – stand at my right hand.
