She is also survived by her sons and their wives, Michael and Dawn Lyons, David and Johanny Lyons, Scott and Sara Lyons; her grandchildren, Victoria, Tyler, Allie, Maddie, Mason and Jackson; her sister, Bernadette Cusack; and several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. In addition to her parents, she was also predeceased by her sister, Christine Comerford.
