I didn't have the privilege of knowing Ann as long as many others who join me in mourning her loss. I am an add on to the class of 1970 gals group, from the class of 1972. In recent years we've had get togethers for reunion planning, etc., but it wasn't until Covid that I really got to know and love Ann. At first we planned Zoom meets, then get togethers hanging out in corners of a room, when too cold to be outside. I learned to love Ann very quickly, for her sense of right and wrong, empathy, and of course for her sense of humor. You see, back in the early days of Covid, I was so scared, along with the stresses of current daily life, yet Ann made me laugh. It was a gift I will always remember her for, along with the happy times so enjoying her company. My condolences to the family and the many friends, who like me have a whole in our heart right now. She is at peace now. We will find some peace as well, in gratitude for the time , however short, we did have. Sherri Kaufman

I am unfortunately, late to the Ann Lyons Behr club. While we attended the same school I did not know her in high school, definitely my loss. got to be good friends with her in planning our 50th reunion but especially right before the pandemic. Spent many a fun time together and she was a hoot. She always made us laugh, was thoughtful and kind. She loved her kids and grandkids and her brother and his wife and kids. I was lucky enough to spend time with her and hear her stories about her husband, their kids and their life together. I consider her one of my best friends these past few years and I will miss her so much. Not to worry Ann, I will continue our fight against the screwy politics we talked about so much and I just want Adam, Liza and Jared to know that you are right: you were raised by the best. Your words at the funeral were beautiful and so right on. Love you Ann and your beautiful family. We lost you way too soon but you are finally out of the pain and for that I am grateful. If it is possible I hope you are with those who you loved before. Rest easy my friend. .

I worked with Liza, Ann’s daughter obviously, and Liza said I should meet her mom. She said we would get along and boy did we. We loved to go to Mario’s because she always wanted chicken Parmesan, always! As she was ill she said many times “I can’t wait to go to Mario’s again” but unfortunately we didn’t get there. I didn’t have enough time with her and I wish I had known her for a life time because she was a gem. She was the best and my heart is broken. Liza was right!

I first met Ann in HS and we formed an immediate bond..She was beautiful inside and out.. She radiated light and goodness wherever she was. we reconnected 15 years ago the bond of a friendship continued never skipping a beat..We texted or emailed almost every day and numerous 3 hour conversations..we always had more to say ..when I slept over when down on LI we would stay up all night talking and our conversations always included how lucky and fortunate we both felt we had the best kids ever..we shared our losses and sad stories too..She helped me when I was in an accident in 2014 texting everyday , calling and sending atleast 4 cards a week with jokes.. she helped me through my own cancer journey the last 2 years the biggest cheerleader and when she was diagnosed last year and surgery Dec 29th , I prayed so hard and I would be her cheerleader now .. She was the strongest most unselfish person I know .. never complaining and trusting all her doctors and so grateful her children took care of everything and she always said I don’t have to worry..She said we now have another bond - cancer buddies and she signed everytext with Love you so much buddy .. I and ( all my family) send my deepest heartfelt condolences to you Liza , Jared , Adam her amazing children and alll her family ..She will forever be in my heart always ..Rest easy my buddy .. Untilwe meet again

I knew Ann from school but only really got to know her from 2010 when we reunited at our 40th high school reunion. We connected in the elevator up to the affair and she shared with me that this was the first reunion she had gone to Herricks. We exchanged personal numbers that evening, and we just bonded! We spent sharing stories of our lives, children and family history. I invited her to meet my closest girlfriends outside of Herricks and Ann fit right in and everyone loved her! I will always cherish our friendship, happy, good, bad and sad times these 12 years together. We lost you much too soon but your spirit, wit, love and good heart will always remain in my mind along with my husband, Perry also. RIP Ann Lyons BEHR!

To quote the great Winnie the Pooh...”how lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard!” Ann has been my best friend, confidante,co-conspirator and sister of the heart for so many years. I can’t imagine this world without her. I will miss her every single day of my life. Ann’s sense of humor, her compassion, her determination and the love for her kids and family are characteristics she possessed. She left an amazing legacy of love in her family and friends. The world is certainly a better place because she lived in it....but now it is a much sadder and lonelier place. Ki Live Toy...(a very special saying that only Ann and I knew and used to end every time we wrote or texted each other).

Sending hugs and love to Ann’s beautiful family. I’ve never met you, yet I know you. When In 6th grade I joined Girl Scouts and Ann was in my troop. Always kind and and sweet. I was blessed to see her at the reunion and have a special moment with her. She was a gift to us all.

With the deepest of sympathy I send my sympathy and condolences to all of you Adam Jared Liza your spouses children grandchildren her brother. All of her beloved family . Ann returned to my life after graduating hs 50 years ago to love support and help me when my husband passed. I echo all the sentiments about her as a friend person etc but for me these passed 2 years was a deeply renewed friendship from shared grief no words on what she meant to me brought to my life. Happy we shared time before she was diagnosed. She still continued to be in my life as she battled for hers A beautiful soul RIP with much love Lois Trager Michaud

How do you sum up 70 years of memories in just a few words? What I will remember most is her sincerity, quick wit and of course her contagious, hearty laugh!! I'll miss those 'just a quick call to say hi' that would last more than an hour!! We were all so fortunate to have had her in our life! Love you 'cuz'!

I met Ann in 9th grade. She was a beautiful soul then, as she was until the end. In the recent years, we had a lot of laughs with many of the class of 70 ladies. She had the best sense of humor and that devious giggle! She was so proud of her children, and grand children. Talking about her family always put a smile on her face. . She was so brave during this tragic year and never complained. I will miss her so much. Sending hugs to all her family

I met Anne when we were kids and she came to stay with me with Sandra. Then later in life, after we raised our kids, we reunited when I came down or she came up north to Fort Edward. I loved Anne. She was so sweet and nice. We had a lot of laughs and shared our love of old movies. May peace and love be with Anne’s family. I like to feel good that she is back with her husband Steve. . . .
