Obituary of Dreama Lee Lyle

Dreama Lee McGuire Sawyer-Lyle, formerly of Sandston, VA and Burlington, NC, passed away at Deerfield Ridge Assisted Living in Boone, NC on December 13, 2020, her 94th birthday. Dreama was born to James Harland McGuire and Una Kathlene Wylie (McGuire) on December 13, 1926 in Gap Mills, West Virginia. She was preceded in death by her first husband of 33 years, William Frank Sawyer, her second husband of 29 years, Frederick Jergens Lyle, two sons, William Frank Sawyer, Jr., and Lloyd Stephen 'Steve' Sawyer, her daughter-in-law, Gloria Sawyer, one step daughter, Tricia Lyle Pike, all of her siblings, which included five brothers and five sisters, and her eight brother and sister-in-laws . Dreama is survived by her daughter Denise Sawyer Marsh, son-in-law Ronnie Marsh, granddaughter Andrea Michelle Marsh, grandson Taylor Alexander Marsh and wife Celia Norman Marsh, three great-grandsons Harland Taylor Marsh, Baine Sawyer Marsh, and Alem Stewart Marsh all of Boone, step-daughter Linda Ford, step-son, Ricky Lyle and wife Vicky and sons, Trey and Josh of Mechanicsville, VA, and sister-in-laws Irene Sawyer Wallace of Burlington, NC and Ardith McGuire of Union, West Virginia. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews. Dreama loved her family, loved to laugh, and in her younger years loved to play cards from sundown to sunup with her sisters and brothers, and loved to fish. She was an avid reader and owned every Danielle Steele book that was published. She loved to cook and loved to see people eat. But what she loved the most was shopping. She could shop from the time the stores opened until they closed, go through every rack, and find a $50 blouse for $2.49! And it didn't matter that she didn't have anything to wear with her special find…if it was pretty she bought it, and then bought something to go with it. And most of the time she didn't even wear it, as evidenced by the clothes hanging in her closet and attic with the tags still on! Dreama was also a Life Time member of The Women of the Moose, a part of the Loyal Order of Moose, and spent many hours doing community work with her fellow Moose members. It was Dreama's wish to have her body donated to medical science when she passed and her wish will be granted. Her body will be donated to The Whole Body Donation Center at Wake Forest Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Upon her cremation, her ashes will be spread in Burlington, NC, Jetersville, VA, Hanover County, VA, and Gap Mills, WV. There will not be a service at this time. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Perkinsville Baptist Church, 274 Jefferson Road, Boone, NC 28607, designated for Church Marquee. Her family would like to thank all the staff of Deerfield Ridge Assisted Living for the amazing care and love they showed Dreama during her 3.5+ years living there. They would also like to thank Teresa Custalow, who lived across the street from Dreama in Sandston, VA, and took such good care of her before her move to Boone.
