Our beloved mother and grandmother, Linda Lyon, of Warwick died peacefully on Saturday, May 23rd, 2026, at home.  She was 74 years old.

Linda was the fourth of five children of James and Viola Anthony, born Oct. 28th, 1951 in The Dalles Oregon.  She met and married her husband Wayne and had their family living in Pendleton Oregon.  Waynes' job, AT&T, had their family transfer out to New York.

Linda loved living in the East Coast.  Going to family parties, graduations, school functions, trips to the city, the shores, and many barbeques.  Any event/happening Linda was ready to go.  She loved taking the cross-country road trips to visit family—seeing new places as well as familiar faces.  Linda enjoyed sitting outside and watching nature and all the wildlife around her home.
