Sandra "Sandy" Marie Smiddy

Sandra "Sandy" Marie Smiddy, a beloved tax accountant and enrolled agent for the IRS, passed away peacefully on April 3, 2026, in Louisville, Kentucky. Born on August 20, 1953, Sandy’s life was marked by unwavering dedication to her family, career, and community. She will forever be remembered for her incredible kindness, loyalty, and honesty.

Sandy’s educational journey was a testament to her determination and resilience. A proud graduate of Assumption High School, she furthered her studies at the University of Louisville, balancing the demands of raising a child and making a home for her family while attending school at night. This accomplishment stood as one of her proudest milestones, reflecting the depth of her commitment and work ethic.

Throughout her career as a tax accountant and enrolled agent for the IRS, Sandy not only excelled professionally but also took immense pride in her work. Her integrity and dedication were evident in every aspect of her role. Yet, it was her role as a mother and wife that shone most brightly in her life. Described by those who knew her as an incredible mother and wife, she was fiercely devoted, always placing the needs and happiness of her loved ones at the forefront.

Sandy was known for her gentle spirit; she never had a bad word to say about anyone and was regarded as one of the kindest and most charitable people. Her heart was full of love for her family and friends, and her warmth touched everyone she met. Among her cherished interests were making homemade gifts, nurturing her garden with zinnias planted each summer, and delighting in the simple beauty of yellow butterflies. She found joy in the sunshine and the tranquility of lakes, places where she felt most at peace.

Her legacy of generosity continued even in passing through her decision to be an organ and tissue donor, giving life to others in her final act of kindness.

Sandy leaves behind a loving family who will treasure her memory dearly. She is survived by her devoted husband, Wayne J. Smiddy; her daughter, Jennifer P. Morgan; her sister, Christine Motsch (Pat Morgan); her brother, William Motsch (Shawna); her step-granddaughter, Rebecca Smiddy Hiner; and her stepmother, Diana Motsch. These cherished family members carry forward her spirit and the profound impact she had on their lives.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Mary Jane Motsch; her father, William A. Motsch Sr.; her sister, Cynthia Motsch Bragg; and her stepson, Michael Wayne Smiddy.

Sandra "Sandy" Marie Smiddy’s life was one marked by love, perseverance, and kindness. She will be forever missed by her loved ones and remembered by all who had the privilege to know her.

Born on November 21, 1929, in Apalona, Indiana, Mr. Lyons lived a life marked by hard work, generosity, and an unwavering commitment to family and community.

Lawrence was known for his industrious nature and his willingness to give not just his love, but also his time and extensive knowledge. He owned and operated his own auto body repair shop, where he distinguished himself through excellence and mentorship, guiding several future repairmen in their careers. His generous spirit extended beyond his business; Lawrence, along with his sons, brother-in-law Maefiel James, and his sons, Steve and Dan James, completed a remarkable total of seven houses—2 of which were Lawrence's own, a testament to his dedication and skill.

A man of strong character and principle, Lawrence served in the Army with honor. He was stationed in Germany during World War II and later served during the Korean War. His military service was a fundamental part of his life and reflected his commitment to the greater good.

Lawrence’s interests reflected his love of life and community. He enjoyed working in his garden, camping in Brown County and Little Nashville, and traveling to places like Branson, Missouri, and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. His passion for preservation and history was evident in his restoration of the old church bell from the Morrow Street church, which is now located at the back of St. Michael Church. He also played a significant role in placing the rock with the plaque naming St. Michael Cemetery. These contributions have left a lasting mark on his local community.

Among his proudest accomplishments was being chosen to carry the Indiana Bicentennial State Torch through Charlestown in 2016 at the remarkable age of 86. He was also honored with the St. John Bosco Award, served as the president of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) at St. Michael, coached Little League while his children played, and was a steadfast supporter of his grand and great-grandchildren's youth sports activities.

Lawrence was preceded in death by his parents, Arthur and Iva Jane Lyons; his brothers Eugene, John, Russell, Arnold, and David Lyons; and his sisters Gladys James, Marjorie Betz, Edith Neyenhaus, and Dorothy Lyons. He also endured the sorrowful loss of his granddaughter, Amanda Stahl.

He is survived by his loving wife of 74 years, Rovilla A. Lyons, who stood by his side throughout a lifetime of shared memories and love.
