							Obituary  
							 On Easter Sunday, April 17, 2022, 
							Lola Ilyne Mayer(Thomas), loving mother of three 
							sons, ascended to Heaven at the age of 80.
 Cremation rites have been accorded by Holland Barry 
							& 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.
 
 Also surviving her are three brothers, Bob 
							Thomas(Deb), John Thomas(Judy), and Leonard 
							Thomas(Peggy), all of Mason City, Ill.
