Louise “Granny” Lyons was a woman who leaves her family a legacy of love. “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13. She loved Jesus and wasn’t afraid to share it with anyone and everyone she saw or who would listen. Granny loved others well! Everyone who knew her, and even those who didn’t, fell in love with her. Granny loved to talk! She could talk forever, but she also listened well. Although she loved to talk, her conversation wasn’t just filled with idle words. Louise had conversations that advanced the kingdom. When you shared a moment with her, she spoke words of wisdom about life, love, and Jesus. Louise Lyons led her life by the example of Christ. She leaves her friends and family with a legacy of love. “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.” 1 Corinthians 13:7-8a.
