Alright, so today I was trying to find some information about recent obituaries at a funeral home, specifically the Lyons Funeral Home. The title I was working with was “beverage – lyons funeral home obituaries.” I know, it sounds a bit strange, but let me walk you through what I did.
Starting the Search
First, I started by looking up the Lyons Funeral Home, hoping to find some recent obituaries. I wasn’t sure about the “beverage” part, but I figured it might be related to the Beverage Family Funeral Home since I saw that name pop up. I found some information about a funeral home in Rochelle, so I started there.
Digging Deeper
Next, I tried to find specific obituaries. I came across a few names, like Mary Margaret Lawson Schultheis, Hector Z. Amador, and Mark W. Stevenson. It felt a bit overwhelming, honestly, seeing all these names and knowing they represented real lives and families.
- Found the obituary for Mary Margaret Lawson Schultheis. It was tough to read through, thinking about her family and what they must be going through.
- Looked up Hector Z. Amador. His obituary mentioned he passed away on January 21, 2024, in Rochelle. It’s always hard to see these dates and realize how recent these losses are.
- Came across Mark W. Stevenson’s obituary. He passed away on February 15, and it mentioned he was from DeKalb, Illinois.
More Names and Stories
I kept going, trying to piece together more information. I found the obituary for Michael J. Kersten, who passed away in 2022. Then, there was Rodney Lynn Paul, who passed away peacefully at his brother’s home in Rochelle after battling cancer. Each name I found felt like another story, another life to remember.
- Read about Michael J. Kersten (1975 – 2022) from Ashton. It’s always tough to see the years and realize how young some people are when they pass away.
- Found Rodney Lynn Paul’s obituary. He was 69 and passed away on May 30, 1955, in Rockford. Reading about his battle with cancer was particularly moving.
Personal Reflections
Throughout this process, I couldn’t help but think about my own family’s experiences with funeral homes. I remembered how my family had trusted C.R. Lyons and Family Funeral Home since the 1970s. It brought back memories of how caring and compassionate they were during those difficult times.
Expanding the Search
Finally, I decided to broaden my search to include obituaries from Lyon County, Kentucky. I wanted to see if I could find more information or perhaps a different perspective. It was interesting to see the similarities and differences in how obituaries are handled in different places.
In the end, this whole experience was a reminder of how important it is to remember and honor those who have passed away. It was a bit of a rollercoaster, going from searching for information to reflecting on personal memories. But it was definitely a meaningful journey.
