 Mary A. Lyng, 89, formerly of Jackson
Street in Lowville, passed away peacefully on Friday evening, March 27,
2026, after a brief illness, surrounded by her loving family.
Born on September
3, 1936, in Lowville, NY, to the late Francis E. and Dorothy F. (Kelsey)
Hanno, Mary graduated from Lowville Academy and CCBI in Syracuse. She was
joined in marriage to David T. Lyng on June 29, 1957, at St. Peter’s
Catholic Church. Professionally, she served as a secretary and office
manager for the law office of Cummings & Parker, McGuire & Dunckel.
Upon retirement, she soon became a court attendant for the Lewis County
Courthouse where she continued to serve well into her eighties.
Mary was a
communicant of St. Peter’s Catholic Church, and a member of the Lewis
County American Legion Memorial Post #162. She was a charter member of the
Lowville Fire Department Auxiliary and was honored with a senate resolution
that recognized her 60 years of service.
She is survived
by three of her children: Michele (Stephen) Kibling, Amy J. Monnat, and
Julie A. (Michael) Dumas; her son-in-law, Jim Hulbert; 10 grandchildren; 17
great-grandchildren; and her siblings, Francis E. Hanno, Michael J.
(Kristie) Hanno, Mark K. (Glendyne) Hanno,
Stephen B. (Frances) Hanno, Kurt D. (Paula) Hanno, Thomas C. (Christine)
Hanno, and Jane M. Ingersoll.
She was
predeceased by her husband, David T. Lyng; her daughter, Reneé E. Hulbert
(Jim); and her grandson, David and son-in-law, Timothy J. Monnat, her
sisters-in-law, Carol Hanno (Mark) and Barbara Hanno (Frank), and her
brother-in-law, Gary Ingersoll (Jane).
Mary is
remembered for her smile that lit up a room, strong hugs and her fierce
love for her family and friends. Mary enjoyed many years at Lake Bonaparte
with her husband Dave on their pontoon boat and rousing games of dominoes.
She will also be remembered for her love of music, dancing, singing to her
grandbabies, and fondness for Genny Light. Her laugh was infectious and
will be greatly missed.
A funeral Mass
will be said on Friday, April 10th at 11:00am at St. Peter’s Catholic
Church, with Rev. Sony G. Pulickal, Pastor,
officiating. Burial will follow in Martinsburg Cemetery.
Mary lived life
to the fullest, always found a reason to laugh and smile, impacting
countless lives through her warmth and energy. In honor of her wishes,
there will be no calling hours, however there will be a celebration of life
at the Lowville Firehall to follow immediately after services; all are
welcome. Any food donations may be taken directly to the Lowville Firehall
after 9:00 a.m. on Friday, April 10th.
