Cora Lyons Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A proud graduate of Oak Glen High School's Class of 1978, Cora Lee enjoyed a varied career, retiring after years of dedicated service as a prep cook, café attendant, and cashier. Cooking was not just a job for her; it was a true passion, as was her love for playing poker. Above all, she treasured her family, filling their lives with warmth and joy.
Cora Lee leaves behind a legacy of love, cherished by her devoted husband, Reuben Lyons, whom she married on June 29, 1999. She will be profoundly missed by her children, Tanika Geibel-Smith and Michael Geibenl Jr.; her adored grandchildren, Austin Smith, Morgan, Ashton, Ethan, Olivia Geibel, and Gibson Call; and her loving siblings, Kevin Crawford (Dawn), Oscar B. Speece Jr., Carrie Lynn Cronin (Cevan), and Brenda Chaney
To honor Cora Lee's vibrant spirit, Pastor Dirk Hall will celebrate her life on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at the Arner Funeral Chapel at 2:00 PM. Friends and family are invited to join in remembrance and support from noon to 2:00 PM. Cora Lee's memory will forever remain in our hearts
