We at Santa’s Cause are absolutely devastated by this loss of such a beautiful being. Benita was an integral part of the success of our annual project. She quietly coordinated our communication with the elementary school counselors and would come each year to our warehouse to wrap gifts for the children but would not go on deliveries because she said it was too emotional. Throughout the school year she saw to it that an untold number of children received desperately needed shoes! Benita will be forever in our memories. May God bless her family and friends during this painful time.

To Ms. Lyons family I am so sorry for your loss. Ms. Lyons and I worked together at Wilson Elementary and then later in life she was the counselor for my kiddos.. We loved her personable and approachable attitude towards everything and no matter how long it had been since the last time we saw each other there was always laughter and memories. She will be greatly missed

Benita was a jewel.I so admired her devotion to all the hundreds of children she served in Oklahoma City schools as an elementary counselor. She went well beyond her duties with love and care for every student. I so admired her stamina and compassion. I also remember sharing laughter as she was humorous and had beautiful smile. I will miss her so as will all who worked with her and knew her. My prayers for her family.
