Nancy Lyon Obituary

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Nancy Knight Lyon, 79, passed away Friday, July 3, 2020.
She was born May 19, 1941, to Paul Kline Knight and Clara Genevieve "Gen" Dieter Knight, in Bradford, Pa.
Nancy graduated from Paintsville High School, Class of 1959, and completed her Associate Degree in Medical Laboratory Technology, from Carnegie College, Cleveland, Ohio, in 1961. She worked 40 years in various laboratories, Kendall Oil Refinery in Bradford, Pa., Paintsville Clinic in Paintsville, Ky., Ephraim McDowell Hospital in Danville, Ky., Bradford Hospital in Bradford, Pa., and Warren General Hospital in Warren, Pa., before retiring in 2008, to Lexington, to be close to family.
Nancy was a member of Immanuel Baptist Church of Lexington. She enjoyed reading, swimming, cross-stitching, traveling with friends, and vacations at the beach. She always was a true friend, and devoted her life to her friends and family, too numerous to name. She was welcomed and well loved by all.

I have really missed her since she left the Bradford area. I worked with her in Bradford and traveled to Pa. AMT meetings with her. We went to the national meeting in Vermont one year. She was always a good friend to me. I am so sorry for the family's loss.

I truly enjoyed our early morning chats just before worship services began on Sunday. We talked about the weather, where she had been if she had been missing for a week or two, her faith, and just life in general. She was such a sweet soul...a blessing in my life.
