Judy Diane Evans (married names: Lyon, Zimmerman, Flores)

Judy worked hard her entire life to provide for herself and her family. She was a good mother, raised her children well, they have all grown up to be wonderful, productive members of society.

Judy lived most of her life in Sandy.  Several years ago, she sold her home of thirty years in Sandy and moved into a 55-plus apartment community in Taylorsville.  

She worked in a doctor's office (reception and administrative work) with her sister Sharon for many years. Later, she worked as a records administrator in several nursing homes.

Judy's active spirit led her to adventures throughout her life. As a child she spent summers with her cousins on their ranch in Vernon, Utah, and she carried a deep love for that place the rest of her life.  

She liked to work in her yard, and spent many hours making it beautiful. Judy loved camping and riding ATVs, especially in the beautiful Rocky Mountains here in Utah. Judy also loved to play billiards and bowling; she played on competitive teams for much of her life.

Most of all Judy loved to laugh, and most of us will remember her high spirits.

Judy  is survived by her children Terry Lyon (Eileen) Dennis Lyon and Staci Horton (Waylon), her siblings, Kathy Allen, Stanley Eastman, Jeffrey Eastman and Kristy Eastman. Her grandchildren: Chase, Ashley, Kody, Preston, Great grandchildren: Vivianne, Penelope, Qortlynn and Brody.
