Her parents were John and Dean West.  Lea grew up on the family farm outside of Gould, Oklahoma.   After she graduated from high school, she headed to the “big city” of Amarillo with her best friend “Cricket”. She worked as a telephone operator while in Amarillo.  Cricket arranged a blind date where she met her future husband, E.W. “Dub” Tyler.  They later eloped to New Mexico and began 53 years of marriage.  They lived in Hobbs, New Mexico, and Lubbock, Texas, before settling in Clarendon.  She worked for Peoples Natural Gas Company for a number of years after moving to Clarendon.

They were blessed with two sons, Barry Craig and E.W. “Ted”.  She was very active in the lives of her boys as they grew, attending baseball and football games, along with Scouting events.   She enjoyed the game of golf, and she and Dub were avid card players.  She retired around 1975 from Peoples Natural Gas Company, to prepare for her next important position as “Mema”.  She loved to shop and was very pleased to see that gene passed on to her first granddaughter.  She was blessed with six grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren.  She took her Mema role seriously making holidays and family gatherings large and fun events.

She was preceded in death by an infant brother, her parents, and her doting husband.

She is survived by her son Barry and wife Betty, of Wimberley, Texas, granddaughter April and husband Steve Chambers of Leland, North Carolina, along with great granddaughters Stevie and Scout, grandson John and wife  Anna Tyler, of Bulverde, Texas and great-grandchildren Madelyn and Keller.  She is also survived by son Ted and his wife Tracy, of Lubbock, Texas.  Also, surviving grandchildren are Trent and Ranetta Tyler along with great-grandchildren Talin, Ravenna and Roxy of Westcliffe, Colo., Tony and wife Dawn Tyler along with great-grandson Karsten of Park City, Utah, Trisha and husband Sean Kirkpatrick along with great-grandchildren SJ and Tess, of Lubbock, Texas, and Tori and husband Greg Shaw, along with great-grandchildren Finleigh, Koen, Margaux, Saxon, and Genevieve also of Lubbock, Texas.
