St. George, UT - A beloved husband, father, and grandfather Terry Lysne returned to his Heavenly Father on July 10, 2009 at the age of 67. He had suffered for many years with Lewy Body Dementia. Terry was born in Oakland, CA on July 15, 1941 to his beloved mother Ida May Murray and Otto Normon Lysne. Ida was of Scottish ancestry and Otto of Norwegian ancestry. Terry graduated from Fremont High in Oakland and soon joined the U.S. Air Force working on flight facilities equipment in Laredo, TX. IBM hired him as an electronics technician in his first semester at Laney College and 26 years later he retired as a Senior Engineer. It was an exciting time to be in the computer industry. He joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints January 10, 1976 and it made a big difference in his life. He met Dixie Davis in August of 1977 at a church dance. They fell in love and married February 3, 1978 and were later sealed in the Oakland LDS Temple in 1980. She had two sons, Steve and Jeff whom Terry loved and raised as his own. He also had a son named Matthew from a previous marriage. His brother Ron had a paving company and he worked with him for a few years after retiring and before moving to St. George, Utah in August 2000. Dixie and Terry traveled a great deal to many interesting locations, including: New Zealand, Australia, Aruba, Hawaii, England, Scotland, Netherlands, Belgium, and Norway. He liked to carve trolls and exercise by walking and lifting weights. He also enjoyed family history, working in the yard, attending the Temple, being a Home Teacher, learning to speak Norwegian and especially spending time with family. He was a good and humble man, a hard worker and honest. He will be greatly missed for his positive influence and character. He is loved and survived by his wife Dixie; sons, Steve (Sue) Davis of San Antonio, TX., Jeff (Lonni) Davis of Sandy, UT., and Matthew Lysne; grandchildren: Camryn, Audrey, Gavin, Sawyer and Nash Davis; brother, Ron, and many cousins.
