Mary Ann Lyon

June 19, 1933 - September 17, 2020

Mary Ann Lyon, 87, of Traverse City completed her earthly journey on September 17, 2020, at Munson Medical Center with her loving family at her side. Mary was born in Traverse City on June 19, 1933, to the late Lawrence Blackett and Lucille (Gardner) Shaw. While in high school she met the love of her life, Bob, and they have been married for 69 years. Together they raised their four children on a cherry farm on the Old Mission Peninsula. In their later years they retired to their cottage on Rennie Lake in Traverse City and wintered in Tavares, Florida. She was active in many organizations throughout her years including her children’s school, the Beta Sigma Phi service sorority, and the National Cherry Festival where she volunteered for over 50 years and was lovingly known as “Mother Mary.” She also worked at Pranges for several years as a sales associate where she earned many awards. She loved golf, music, and spending time with her family. Mary will be greatly missed by her beloved husband, Bob, her children: Cheryl (Don) Tejchma, Shelley Enger, Bob (Vicki) Lyon, and Billy (Kathy Maldanado) Lyon, nine grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren, as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Alexander (Pappy) and Lucille Shaw, her infant daughter, Deborah, and her son-in-law, Jack Enger. Visitation will take place on Sunday, September 20, 2020, from 3:00 to 6:00 pm in the gardens at the Reynolds Jonkhoff Funeral Home. The funeral service will be in the gardens as well on Monday at 2:00 p.m. Mary will be laid to rest at Grand Traverse Memorial Gardens.
