Heather Louise Lyons

June 27, 1956 - June 17, 2022

Heather Lyons passed away at the young age of 65, in Cobourg, Ontario. She left behind a large family that loved her dearly. Her 6 sisters, Carol, Nancy, Wendy (an angel in Heaven ), Sandra, Jody, Penny and 1 brother, Joey will think of her daily. She had 7 amazing grand-babies that she loved so much; Tristen, Rayanne, Isaiah, Jacob, Elijah, Mallory and Aria. Her daughters Shannon, Carrie and Nikole were by her side. Heather leaves behind many cousins, nieces and nephews and a large extended family.

Heather was strong, she was feisty, she was funny, she was beautiful, but most of all she was loved by so many people. She touched the lives of others in so many ways. Was affectionately called Nana by most because she was that special, that loving. She loved hard, and it showed.

We will miss her more than words could ever describe. We will hold her close in our hearts, forever.

Please join us for her Celebration of Life at MacCoubrey Funeral Home on Sunday June 26, 2022 from 11 am to 2 pm where we will share memories. Formal attire is not required. She loves the colours red and blue, so feel free to honour her with these colours if you’d like.

Nana was an absolute one of a kind. Her personality was so bright, it could put a smile on anyone's face. She had such an amazing sense of humour. She never failed to make me laugh and we had a lot of laughs together. Nana has always shown me nothing but kindness and I am forever grateful for that. Anything from getting me a little breakfast or driving me to work in the morning. She will be missed by so many and touched many people in this world. She was such a badass nana and loved her grandkids so much. My thoughts are with her family in this tough time.

Stephanie - June 25, 2022

Dearest Aunt Heather, how I will miss you. Nothing can ever take away the memories of my youth at your house, endless sleep overs with Nikki and most likely driving you absolutely crazy. For as long as I can remember, you have been ill but, regardless of how you were feeling you were always there for us. Long drives up to Vankleek Hill to visit us, being there for my baby shower, driving up after dialysis. You were so courageous and strong. I wish my girls would have known you better, I wish I could be there right next to your girls when they need us the most. I promise you that, I will always be for them. Oh Aunt Heather, I love you so much. Fly Hugh, free of pain and full of life with your loved ones. Until we meet again xo Stephanie

To Heather's family. I am so sorry for your unexpected and sudden loss. I remember Heather as a mama bear who had a whole lot of pride in and support for her daughter Nikki. I got to know her better through Nikki over the years, and have often thought that the world needs more Heathers....Huge heart, protective nature, always there for loved ones. Clearly Heaven felt the same. May she rest in peace, and you all find comfort in the memories of a great woman who has shaped the lives of each of you in remarkable ways.

Sara Cameron - June 21, 2022

An eternal memory…life is not the same without you. The sun still rises in the east and darkness falls at night but nothing now seems quite the same each day is not as bright. The birds still sing, the flowers grow the breeze still whispers, too but it will never, ever be the same world without you. It’s so sad that you had to go your leaving caused such pain but you were very special and earth’s loss is heaven’s gain. May you rest in peace Aunt Heather xoxo

Nikole Lyons - June 21, 2022

Oh Mama, how I wish I didn’t have to write you here. How I wish you were beside me so I could remind you just how amazing you truly were. My days do not feel the same, my nights are filled with tears. Today I even thought to myself, you would be home soon. None of this feels real, the thought of never seeing you again breaks my heart. The thought of never having silly conversations, makes me not even want to talk. You truly were and still are my very best friend. When people say they have the best mom, I’m not sure it’s true, because you, you were the very best. So selfless, so giving, so loving. You would have given your last breath for us. I know you are watching over us, even though I don’t feel you yet. I keep telling myself you need time to settle in, kick your feet up and rest. None of that makes it easier on me though. I know if you could have fought this one, you would have. You deserve some rest now. For so long you fought to keep going, you were the strongest person I knew. Just know we love you, we will never forget you, we will always hold you close to our hearts, and never let go of that. I’ll buy a scratch ticket every now and again, just for you. I’ll even force myself to go to bingo, and think of you while I’m there. I’ll watch Dancing with the Wolves, and remember you. I’ll make cabbage rolls just how you did. We will make roast on Sundays because you always offered to do that. When I smell ivory soap, I’ll think of you. Every time my phone goes off, I’ll hope it’s from you, even though I know it’s not possible. I’ll watch the star at night and know one of them is you looking down on me, I’ll rub Mallorys head when she has a headache just like you did for me. I’ll do so many things you used to do, just to keep them going. I love you, I miss you. I will forever cherish our relationship and make sure I carry that on with my own children. We will make you proud Mama. I’ll see you in my dreams. Fly high Mom, fly so freaking high. I’ll meet you at the rainbow. 💕🌈 always, Nikki

isaiah - June 21, 2022

Nana was the most important person in my life, from our 3am conversations to our 3pm drives, all the times she picked me up from school without my parents knowing and i had to hide in my room because i didn’t know my dad was home, all the special moments i had with you i will cherish forever nana, may you rest in paradise with all your loved ones as i stay here struggling to figure out life without you, i hope you’re up there enjoying a caesar (or a seizure) as you used to say lol, i loved you endlessly nana the bond we had was unbreakable. i would do anything just to see your pretty face one more time, may you rest in absolute paradise, until we meet again “to the moon and back a thousand times over” 💔

Sydney and Family - June 20, 2022

My deepest condolences go out to my friend Rayanne and her whole family. I knew how much nana meant to Ray and now i cherish those little moments and crazy stories i would hear with nana. This is such a huge loss to such an amazing and supportive family. I know she is watching over all of her loved ones every day. Rest in Paradise nana! In another lifetime.

Jayden McGrayne - June 20, 2022

Nana was such a special woman in my life from the first day I had the honour of meeting her and I absolutely love her to bits. She helped me in so many ways and she is part of the reason I am still here today. She will always be in all of our hearts and we will always remember all of her shenanigans. Rest in peace to the most beautifully crazy amazing woman I have ever met.

Our sincere condolences on the passing of the beautiful free-spirited Heather. Please know that our prayers and thoughts are with you all at this time.

Take comfort in knowing that even though she is not physically with you, her spirit will always be with you in the memories that you will forever hold dear in your hearts.

My big sister Heather, my words could never tell you how deeply I loved you. When I think about how stunningly beautiful you were as a young woman and how you carried that beauty your whole life it made proud to say, that's my sister. We had so much fun together, especially during the time when I lived with you. It warms my heart when I think of those times and it's going to be very hard for me to carry on without you. I'm just glad that I do have those memories, you'll always be in my heart. I love you forever. Your brother Joey
