NW Arkansas Times (Fayetteville, AR) - Friday, June 2, 2006
Deceased Name: Springdale JEAN TYSON
Twilla Jean Tyson, 74, died peacefully at her home in Springdale on Wednesday, May 31, 2006, surrounded by her loved ones.
She was born Nov. 13, 1931, in Elmo, Kan., to Howard and Vera (Westover) Womochil. Jean grew up in Kansas and graduated from Chatman-Dickinson County High School in 1949. She then left Kansas for New Orleans, and on the way stopped to visit relatives in Northwest Arkansas, where she met Don Tyson, whom she married in August 1952. In addition to spending time with her family, she loved to garden, collect art and travel.
Her son, John Tyson, said, "My mother was a beautiful lady with a warm smile. She made everybody feel welcomed. Her determination and stubbornness helped her when challenges arose. She loved her kids and friends with the same love the Lord had for her. In her illness, she showed dignity and grace, and everyone around her learned from her strong character. She now joins family and friends in heaven who have been waiting. In her passing, the Lord has taken on one opinionated lady who will make heaven a fun place for all. She will be missed, but the world has been left a better place because of her."
She was preceded in death by her sister, Trevia Schneider; her parents; and Randal Tyson, whom she helped raise.
Survivors include her son, John Howard Tyson of Springdale; two daughters, Cheryl Jean Tyson of Springdale and Carla Ann Tyson of Fayetteville; her husband, Don Tyson of Springdale; and two grandchildren, John Randal Tyson and Olivia Laine Tyson, and their mother, Kimberly McCoy Tyson of Springdale. She is also survived by five brothers, Lile Womochil, Garold Womochil, Larry Womochil, Tracy Womochil and Glen Womochil.
A public visitation is 4-6 p.m. today at Sisco Funeral Chapel, 705 W. Meadow Ave., Springdale.
A private memorial service is scheduled for Saturday at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Springdale.
