Dorothy "Dottie" Jane Lyons

Dorothy "Dottie" Jane Lyons, born on August 8, 1940, in Baltimore, Maryland, passed away on August 22, 2025, at the age of 85.  She was a cherished member of her community and is remembered for her warmth, kindness, and spirit.

Dottie dedicated over 30 years of her professional life to McCormick and Company, where she made countless contributions to the organization and left a lasting legacy.  An active member of St. Athanasius Church, Dorothy’s faith was a cornerstone of her life.  She found joy in participating in church activities and building lasting relationships with those around her.  Her commitment to her church community exemplified her nurturing and selfless nature.  Outside of work and church, Dorothy embraced many interests that brought her joy.  She had a passion for baking and was known for her delicious creations that delighted family and friends.  She enjoyed shopping and would often take pleasure in lunch outings with her friends, valuing those moments of connection and laughter.  Dorothy also loved spending time with her family at the beach, creating precious memories.  She was also an avid Baltimore Orioles fan, and, on occasion, could be found playing on her iPad.

Dorothy is survived by her beloved daughter, Lisa Greco, and her adored grandchildren, Caterina Greco and Nicholas Greco.  She is also survived by her brother, John Worch, and many other family and dear friends.

She was predeceased in death by her husband, Bernard "Bernie" Lyons; her sister, Mary Catherine Hill, and her parents, John and Mary Worch.
