Myra Lancaster Sisson

Myra (Lu) Lancaster Sisson, age 81 of Braselton, Georgia, formerly Sebastian, FL, on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, peacefully passed away surrounded by her loving family. She was born on October 30, 1944, to the late John Lee Lancaster Jr and Dorothy Bulman Lancaster of Spartanburg, SC. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 55 years, Dee Sisson. She is survived by her devoted children, Mark Sisson, Philip Sisson, and Angela S. Zavadil (Craig Zavadil), and her two adoring granddaughters, Emily and Libby Zavadil. 

Myra was a devoted wife, mother, and Christian whose faith guided her throughout her life. Her faith inspired her musically, as she often played the organ for her church growing up. Myra was an avid reader, especially of mystery novels. She was a loyal fan of the Atlanta Braves, occasionally spotted at home games. She got her higher education from the University of North Alabama where she was an active member of the Gamma Theta Upsilon, Zeta Nu chapter. Myra was very creative, often displaying her love through crocheting, creating ample handmade treasures for her loved ones. She also loved to play card games and was an active bridge player in her Florida communities of Sebastian and New Port Richey. Her greatest joy was her family. She deeply loved her three children and was the most supportive grandmother, encouraging Libby in her love of music and passing down her passion for literature to Emily. 

As Scripture says, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” Myra’s steadfast love for God has guided her home and she is now at peace reunited with Dee and her loving Father. She will be remembered for her strong faith, sharp witty humor, and the steady love she gave so freely. Please send condolences to aszavadil@gmail.com.
