Susan C. Lyon
Susan C. Lyon, 77, of Gardeau, passed away peacefully at Guy & Mary Felt Manor in Emporium on Tuesday evening, August 4, 2026, following a brief illness.
Born on January 3, 1949, in St. Marys, she was the daughter of the late Herbert and Elizabeth Connor Swartwood. On June 15, 1968, in the First United Methodist Church in Emporium, she married Paul Lyon, who survives.
Susan was a graduate of Cameron County High School. She was employed for a short time at Sylvania before beginning a career in housekeeping at Guy & Mary Felt Manor, where she worked faithfully for many years.
A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and faithful servant of her community, Susan embraced the life of a farmer's wife with grace, dedication, and unwavering love for her family. She found great joy in supporting the family farm and creating a warm and welcoming home where family gatherings and treasured memories were made.
Her faith was the foundation of her life. Susan was an active member of Endless Mountains Methodist Church, where she faithfully served as church custodian and taught Sunday School for many years, touching the lives of countless children with her kindness and steadfast faith.
Susan was also a dedicated member of the Order of the Eastern Star, Emporium Chapter #101, where she served as Past Worthy Matron. She generously gave her time as a member of the Cameron County Fair Board of Directors, reflecting her love for agriculture and the local community.
She and Paul especially enjoyed traveling together to Lancaster County to attend productions at the Sight & Sound Theatre. Above all else, Susan treasured time spent with her family. Nothing brought her greater happiness than watching her children and grandchildren grow, and she cherished every opportunity to be with them.
In addition to her loving husband of 58 years, Paul Lyon, she is survived by four children: Lori Kocholek (Dennis) of Hermitage; Scott Lyon (Susan) of Emporium; Heather Hallowell (Matt) of Emporium; and Holly Clark (Jessie) of Cranberry Township. She is also survived by seven beloved grandchildren; one great-granddaughter; a brother, David Swartwood (Patricia); along with several nieces, nephews, cousins, and many dear friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Herbert and Elizabeth Connor Swartwood, and a daughter, Christine Medley.
A funeral service will be held at Endless Mountains Methodist Church, 306 S. Spruce Street, Emporium, on Saturday, August 8, 2026, at 11:00 AM with Rev. Dr. Andrew P. Spore, Pastor, officiating.
Visitation will be held at the church on Saturday from 10:00 until 10:45 AM, prior to the service.
Burial will follow in Portage Township Cemetery, Gardeau.

Knife Sharpening @ the CC Farmer's Market
Cameron County Farmers Market
🔪 A sharp knife makes all the difference—and Mike Thompson is back to help!
We're excited to welcome Mike Thompson back to the Cameron County Farmers Market this weekend!
Many of our regular shoppers will remember Mike as one of our longtime produce growers, bringing beautiful, homegrown vegetables to the market over the years.
Although he took this season off from growing for the market, we're thrilled that he's returning in a new role that many of you have been asking for.
This Saturday, Mike will be offering ON-SITE KNIFE SHARPENING at the market.
Whether it's your favorite kitchen knife that's lost its edge, a hunting knife that's ready for a tune-up, or your pocketknife that needs a little attention, Mike can help restore them to a sharp, smooth cutting edge while you browse the market.
Sharp tools aren't just easier to use—they're safer, more efficient, and make every job a little more enjoyable!
It's the perfect opportunity to cross one more chore off your to-do list while supporting local vendors.
Simply drop off your knives, enjoy a stroll around the market, listen to the live music, pick up some fresh produce, baked goods, or handmade gifts, and return to collect your freshly sharpened blades.
We're delighted to have Mike back as part of the Cameron County Farmers Market family and hope you'll stop by to say hello—and perhaps give those well-used knives a new lease on life!
Join us this Saturday from 9 AM to 12 PM at the Emporium Town Square.

The Driftwood of today is not the Driftwood of yesterday when I was growing up.
The southern part of Cameron County is thriving and flourishing today!
I am grateful to witness and be a part of it.
The Driftwood Borough Park is a historic site that offers recreation and play for children and adults alike. It unfortunately has been overlooked for so many years regarding upgrades and improvements.
The last playground in the whole entire county that needs upgrades and improvements needs your help! We all can make a difference!
Please see letter on how to donate.
If you have any questions please message me!

Red Cross Blood Drive Aug. 13th
On July 13, the Red Cross declared an emergency blood and platelet shortage after the nation's blood supply dropped 25% in June to critically low levels.
While thousands of people have stepped up to help, the blood supply isn’t rebuilding fast enough to keep up with hospital demand and the situation has escalated.
Spread the word: Blood donors are urgently needed this summer.
Travel and seasonal activities can impact donations, but patients continue to rely on lifesaving blood.
Take a moment to make an impact.
