Mary Victoria Lyons-Keane, 66, of Reisterstown, MD, passed away Friday, September 11, 2026, at Chester County Hospital in West Chester, PA.
Born October 4, 1959, in Lansdowne, PA, Vicki was the daughter of the late James Joseph Lyons and the late Eleanor Elizabeth Madden Lyons.
Vicki was a graduate of Archbishop John Carroll High School and attended York College. She married Timothy Davidson Sr. and moved to California, where she began a new chapter of her life before eventually returning to the East Coast. She made her home in Wayne, Pennsylvania for many years, followed by a brief time in Bernardsville, New Jersey. In 2000, Vicki married Timothy Bryan Keane and moved to Reisterstown, Maryland. Most recently, Vicki lived in Wilmington, Delaware, with her sister Joanne while working as an Office Administrator in Devon, Pennsylvania.
Vicki had a lifelong love of music. She loved to sing and especially enjoyed attending live music performances. Her creativity was boundless, and she had a remarkable gift for transforming the ordinary into something beautiful. Whether she was painting, sewing, upholstering, knitting, baking, designing, or decorating, Vicki brought imagination, care, and a special touch to everything she created. Above all else, Vicki was most proud of her six children and the special bond she maintained with each of them. She was also a devoted grandmother to 19 grandchildren, who lovingly called her ‘Vava’ or ‘Vivi,’ depending on whom you asked.
Vicki is survived by her husband, Timothy Bryan Keane; her sister, Joanne Marie Lyons-Penttila; her brothers, James Lyons (Ellen) and Daniel Lyons (Bobbi); her children, Corinne Quince (Chris), Timothy Davidson Jr. (Rachel), Gregory Davidson (MaryJane), Elyse Hulbert (Sam), Michala Keane (David Rivenbark), and Hannah Keane; and her grandchildren, Eleanor, Victoria, Christopher, Benjamin, Charles, Elizabeth, Ethan, Evelyn, Elliott, Emmett, Ellis, Ella, Lily, Ryan, Isabella, Natalie, Jameson, Fiona, and Margot.
She was preceded in death by her sisters, Jacqueline Koons and Kathy Walls.
Relatives and friends are invited to her visitation on Thursday, September 24, 2026, from 10:00 am to 10:45 am at St. Katharine of Siena Church, 104 S. Aberdeen Ave., Wayne, PA 19087, followed by her Funeral Mass at 11:00 am. Interment will be in Calvary Cemetery, West Conshohocken, PA.
