Carolyn Lyons

Lyons, Carolyn of Quincy, died January 25, 2019.

Carolyn adored her family, her dogs Peepers and Nibsy, and being life of the party. She hosted parties for all of her friends, loved Christmas and decorating her house to be a Winter Wonderland, was an amazing artist, and enjoyed painting, sketching, and arts and crafts. She was proud of her Irish heritage and celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. Carolyn worked as a cleaner for ACP and State Street until retiring. She could be found at the Irish Pub in Quincy ordering two VO and gingers at once because she did not like to wait. She loved everyone and if she really loved you, she would say “you damn fool”. Carolyn touched the life of everyone she met with her sense of humor and incredible dance moves. She will be greatly missed by everyone that knew her.
