Lygon Stevens Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 8, 2008.
Lygon Elizabeth Stevens, 20, was born April 16, 1987, in Helena, the daughter of Nick and Sarah Stevens of Loveland, Colo. The Stevens family resided in Helena from 1987-1997.

Lygon was called home Jan. 10, after getting caught in an avalanche in southern Colorado.

An experienced mountaineer, she summited peaks from Alaska to Ecuador. She was a junior English major at UNC. Lygon's greatest love was her love for her Heavenly Father. Her journals reflecting that are touching lives across the country; her family will be sharing some of these at the memorial.

Lygon is survived by her parents and three siblings, Lauren, Nick and Lexy.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, Feb. 16, at 11 a.m., at the East Valley Foursquare Church in East Helena. In lieu of flowers, gifts may be made to the Lygon Stevens Memorial Fund or sent directly to the fund c/o 1st Bank of Northern Colorado, 229 E. 29th St., Loveland, CO 80538. This fund has been established to aid the search and rescue parties who will be bringing Lygon down from the mountain in the spring.

I am heartbroken that the world has lost such a young, beautiful angel of God. But I just praise God so much that, through this tragedy, Lygon's testimony and life's love= Christ- will reach so many! May God give you peace that passes all understanding. We love you. Chad and Jennifer Simmons (Jen Murray)

Lygon will remain in my memory as a beautiful, joyful girl. I remember little girl giggles and adventures with my children when they were young. We send our love and prayers to her family.Jeanine Stark

Such a beautiful young lady and I am sure she is as beautiful inside. She leaves a legacy for those she influenced throughout her short life. May God grant you peace. Ralph & Darlene Shook
