Obituary of Claire Elizabeth Lyon

Claire Elizabeth Lyon, 85 of Brookfield, passed away quietly in the early hours of Thursday December 8, 2022 at Regional Hospice in Danbury. Claire now joins her husband, Kenneth Lyon, who passed away in 2016. Claire was born September 3, 1937 at home in Thomaston to the late Herbert and Frieda Truelove. She graduated Thomaston High School and Waterbury Hospital School of Nursing.

Claire was very active in the Walnut Hill Community Church in Bethel where she volunteered in the Prayer Room knitting shawls, lap robes, and baby items for those who could use some spiritual uplifting. She enjoyed going to bible studies and Claire and Ken found joy on missionary trip with the church to Africa. Claire enjoyed crafting, dining out with friends and family, the ocean, and animals; especially her dogs Puff and Tiffany. Above all, she loved her family. Nothing brought her more joy than being a wife, mother, and grandmother.

Claire will be lovingly remembered by her daughter, Cynthia Erwin of Brookfield; her granddaughters: Gabrielle, Elyssa, and Annalise; her sister Carol Smith; and several nieces and nephews. In addition to her husband Ken, Claire was predeceased by their daughter, Andrea Lyon.

A Funeral service was held at Walnut Hill Community Church in Bethel, CT. Burial will take place in the Spring in Central Cemetery in Brookfield.
