She also leaves behind seven grandchildren (Matt, Michael, Conner, Autumn, Hannah, Taylor, and Morgan) and four great-grandchildren. She loved and cherished many dogs over the years.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Larry Lytle.

In following Mrs. Eason’s wishes, there will be no visitation or funeral. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date at the convenience of the family.
