Donna Jean Lyons Obituary

The passing of Donna Jean Lyons (Akron, Ohio), born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas leaves a void in the hearts of many, as we bid farewell to a loving soul who departed on January 10, 2026 at the age of 83. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

Though Donna may no longer walk beside us, her memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Donna touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In her absence, her spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.

She is survived by: her daughters, Robin Matos and Shari Handy; her granddaughters, Shannon Despres and Rachel Matos; her cousin Randall Tucker; and her friends, Joan and Glenis.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the local animal shelters.
