Elise Lyons Obituary

Elise B. (Surette) Lyons, of Marshfield, passed away peacefully on June 18, 2016, at the age of 69. Elise was the beloved wife of Robert J. Lyons of 49 years; and loving mother of Robert J.

Elise leaves her grandchildren, Catherine and Thomas Lyons, Megan, Emma, and Abby Lyons; and siblings, Constance Surette of Florida and Gibb Surette of New York; as well as nieces, nephews and extended family. Elise grew up in Brookline and spent time with family in Ocala, Florida. She spent many years working for Jack Conway, first in Real Estate then his mortgage business. Elise was a devoted wife and proud mother. Elise loved spending time with family and friends, and especially seeing the new generation coming in.

I am so saddened to hear that Elise has passed on. She used to live with my family while she was in Brookline during high school. She was friends with my sisters, Katy and Mary Beth. I used to visit her after she got married and when she moved to Marshfield. I moved away and we lost touch since then but I've never forgotten her over the years. I am happy to hear that Elise was blessed over the years with a wonderful family that she loved.

Just last week, my sister Katy and I were talking about Elise while I was doing research on my family names in Nova Scotia. One of my early relatives' names was Surette. So we were wondering if I was somehow related to Elise. Then, that next day, we found out that Elise had passed. I will never forget the good times we had together when Elise lived with us. I still have some home movies from that time, just snippets of Christmas and her senior prom with Robert. I can give you a copy of these if you would like. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time.

Robert, Bobby & Johnny & family,
I am so sorry to hear of Elise's passing. She dearly loved her family and was loved by all of us. I will miss getting those pics and cards in the mail from her. She was so good to keep in contact through the years. Our prayers are with you all and I wish I could be there for the service tonight. We have a lot of good memories to get by on for awhile. Blessings to you all. Miriam & Kirk Sutton & family
