On Easter Sunday, April 17, 2022,
Lola Ilyne Mayer(Thomas), loving mother of three
sons, ascended to Heaven at the age of 80.

& Bennett Funeral Home.
Ilyne always put others before herself. She was a
great listener, kind, soft spoken, and loved all of
her family, kids, grandkids, great grandkids, and
friends dearly. She loved to bake, work in her yard,
go to the movies, and travel. She loved listening to
country music, watching game shows, and crime
dramas. She retired from Eaton and always enjoyed
getting together with the other retired girls once a
month to chat it up at the Blue Dog.
“We will all miss hearing you laugh and seeing your
caring smile. Where we lost a Mom, Heaven gained an
Angel.” - The Mayer Boys.
Bill would have wanted me to mention that she was a
fan of baseball and the great Chicago Cubs. Go
Cubbies!

Pekin, Ill., Steve Mayer(Keri) of Volo, Ill., and
Terry Mayer(Elaine) of Franklin, TN.

Thomas(Deb), John Thomas(Judy), and Leonard
Thomas(Peggy), all of Mason City, Ill. |
