Dennis Tyler, Lawrence, KS, Steve Tyler and wife Betty, Lawrence, KS, Diane Smith and husband Gary, Kansas City, Kansas, Carol Gray and husband Gene, Prairie Grove, Arkansas, and Karen Tyler, San Antonio, Texas. She had several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, in which she loved dearly. She looked forward to family visits, loved pets, attending church, enjoyed music, and was gifted at the piano; she played by ear since she was four-years-old. Her family and friends will miss her dearly.
Memorial contributions in her memory may be made to Grace Hospice or Disabled American Veterans, in care of Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home, 601 Indiana St., Lawrence, KS, 66044.
We send our deepest sympathy, Carol. She must have been a wonderful woman to have raised someone like you, with such a big heart, warm and giving nature, and welcoming soul. I know how badly you will miss her, but know love is eternal, even after death.
My thoughts are with you at this difficult time, Diane and Gary. I certainly understand what it is like. Your Mom and my Dad shared a birthday (although 11 years apart).
Never met the lady but know she was a good, godly woman. Am acquainted with her daughter, Carol, and she is such a loving person. She had to have been raised with loving care.
I remember Idell babysitting me when I was young and her wonderful piano playing. Her and my mom (Rosella Cox) would sing for hours and hours. God Bless
May the peace of God be with my cousins and friends of Aunt Lois Idell Tyler.
So sorry for your loss! A loss is never understood or properly timed. Peace be with you all!
