Leslie Ann Lyons, 51, of Fort Atkinson, passed away peacefully on Monday, Oct. 20, 2014, at the Rainbow Hospice Inpatient Facility in Johnson Creek, surrounded by loved ones.
Leslie was born in Peru, Ill., on July 2, 1963, the daughter of John and the late Dolores “Babe” Simcich.
She graduated from LaSalle-Peru High School in 1981 and went on to graduate from Western Illinois University in 1985 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology.
Leslie married her loving husband, Chris Lyons, on Oct. 11, 1986, who has been by her side through all of this.
Leslie enjoyed her last 30 years in social work helping the mentally challenged and elderly while working at Kaiser Group, Opportunities Inc., Jefferson County Workforce, and most recently Care Wisconsin.
She will be remembered for her quick wit, unique humor, her love for Little Debbie’s and her devotion to large McDonald’s unsweetened iced tea with lemon. Never forget the lemons. She had an ability to make others laugh without effort and truly was one of the funniest people you could ever know.
She is survived by her best friend and husband, Chris; two children, Cassidy and Brady; father, John; stepmother, Phyllis; in-laws, Kevin and Palma Lyons; two brothers, Dave (Cindy) Simcich of Pewaukee and Ken (Ronda) Simcich of Utica, Ill.; sister, Lynn (Kent) Zellmer, Granville, Ill.; brothers-in-law, Brian (Lori) Lyons of Rockford, Ill., Dan (Kelly) Lyons of Huntington, Ind., and Sean (Jill) Lyons of Morton, Ill.; sisters-in-law, Vicki (Larry) Petersen of Bloomington, Ill., and Steph (Bill) Bodine of Sherman, Ill.; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Leslie was preceded in death by her mother, Dolores, in 1985.
Visitation will be held from 1 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 26, at the Nitardy Funeral Home Chapel, 1008 Madison Ave. in Fort Atkinson.
Private family services will be held on Monday, Oct. 27.
All memorials will be donated in Leslie’s name to Rainbow Hospice of Jefferson or to the UW Carbone Cancer Center in Madison.
Special thanks to Leslie’s team of doctors at UW, Dr. Baskaya, Dr. Robbins and Dr. Howard, along with Lori Hayes and Letty Geanon. Also thanks to the entire staff at Golden Living and the Rainbow Hospice Center.
