Bertha M Lyons

Lubec – Bertha M. (Moores) Lyons, 88, went home to be with the Lord on August 18, 2012. Bertha was born in Trescott on March 28, 1924, daughter of the late Burton and Ruby Pearl (Hatt) Moores. She worked hard in her life, first with Booth Fisheries, and then became a devoted homemaker. Bertha enjoyed being in the outdoors and had many gardens, but flowers were her passion. She had many hobbies including cooking, cleaning, making wreaths, and knitting, but most importantly were those moments spent surrounded by her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her husband Macky Lyons; three sons, Myron, Edward and Darrell Denbow; a step-daughter Gloria Duffy; two great-grandchildren, Felecia and Cody Farrell; two sisters Geneva Huckins and Beatrice Copson; and five brothers, Bill, Freddie, Roy, Carroll and Allen Moores. Surviving are her brother Robbie Moores and his wife Myrtle; five daughters, Kathy Murray and her husband Dickie, Bonnie Lyons and her companion David Ross, Brenda Gross and her companion Peter Haycock, Janet Blake and her husband Robert, and Judy Lyons; one step-daughter, Betty Wentworth and her husband Wayne; 12 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews. Visiting hours will be held 12 noon until 1 p.m. Tuesday, August 21, 2012 at Ridge Baptist Church in Lubec. A celebration of Bertha’s life will begin at 1 p.m. Tuesday in the church. Burial will follow at Green Acres Cemetery in Lubec. Arrangements by Mays Funeral Home, Calais & Eastport.
