June 14, 1929 - January 7, 2016
Dale Eugene Lyon, age 86, passed away on 1/7/2016 due to complications from pneumonia and heart failure. He was born 6/14/1929 to the parents of Mildred and Lester Lyon.
Dale graduated from high school in Winterset, Iowa and went on to get a degree from the University of Maryland.
He joined the United States Air Force in 1948 and served for 28.5 years and achieved the rank of Chief Master Sargeant. He served his country in several tours of duty including Alaska, Korea, Philippines, and Okinawa and was awarded many meritorious honors, including The Bronze Star Medal. Dale retired from the Air Force in 1977.
After retirement from the U.S. Air Force, he worked for 20+ more years and retired as CEO/ President from the United Heritage Federal Credit Union and remained on the Board of Directors of UHFCU until his death.
Dale is survived in death by his wife of 63 years, Doris Lyon and their children, Pam Henderson, Dennis Lyon, Stacey Jamail/ Jeff, and his grand-children, Mickey Jamail/ Reagan, Eric Henderson, and Meredith Jamail, all from Austin, Texas. He is also survived by his siblings Judy Meline/ Chuck, Maureen Hildredth/ Tim from DesMoines, Iowa and Robert Lyon/ Pat from Rockwall, Texas.
Some of Dale's greatest enjoyments in life were his participation with the CMSGT organization, being an avid golfer, attending UT football games (Hook 'Em), and spending time with his children and grandchildren. He also got great joy in being a devout and valued member of the Berkeley United Methodist Church.
Dale was a respected member of the Austin community and he will be greatly missed. A visitation will be held on Monday 1/11/2016 at 6:00 P.M. at Harrell Funeral Home in Austin.

May the angels always fold their white wings around Dale.
