TCU Dining Services employee dies Sunday
The memorial service for TCU Dining Services employee Rosetta Lyons will begin at noon today at Elm Grove Missionary Baptist Church.

Lyons, 72, died at the end of a church service Sunday of natural causes, said Bryant Currie, operations director of Dining Services.

She worked in Dining Services for about 30 years, said Betty Jones, a Dining Services employee. Jones worked with Lyons for the past 17 years and said she “always greeted you with a ‘Good morning.’”

Lyons had worked in both Eden’s Greens and Deco Deli. She was currently working as a server in the faculty dining facility. Lyons left behind six children, 10 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Employee supervisor of Deco Deli Stephanie Dickerson said Lyons was just like everyone’s grandmother.

“She was really sweet,” Dickerson said. “She was always giving encouraging words.” Lyons was also involved in many church activities.
