Lyman Dale Farley passed away September 30, 2021 at his home in Herriman, surrounded by family. Born March 29, 1934, in Carr Fork, Bingham Canyon, Utah, he was the fifth child of Perry Jennings Bryan Farley and Elva Jane Doty.
Lyman married Audrea Eastman on January 30, 1959, in Herriman, Utah. He served in the US Army stationed in Korea, followed by service in the Utah National Guard. He began his career at Kennecott Copper working on the track gang at the Bingham Canyon Mine. He later became a brakeman on the ore trains and ended his career as a welder/boiler maker.
Besides his family, his passion in life was fly tying, fishing and camping. He was also an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers, and a sister. He is survived by his wife, Audrea, two sons, Scott (Debbie) Farley and Jerry (Wendy) Farley, four siblings, Della Briggs, Joyce Lowry, Gene (Janalee) Farley, Sherryl Rosenhan, four grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
Lyman was a happy person who always had a smile on his face. He filled the lives of those around him with humor, and the occasion outburst of song.
The family wants to thank Active Hospice; especially Nikki, RN for her kindness and attention through his illness.

Prayers and love to the Farly family
Lyman, we are going to miss you so much. Since I was a child I loved seeing you over the fence, your random songs, your mechanical abilities. I'll also never forget the time you rescued us after my dad got lost and broke down on some dirt road in the middle of nowhere. The back of your old blazer was amazing that day. I look forward to seeing you again someday and hopefully I'll be on your side of the fence when we catch up. Rest in peace.
Condolences to Audrie and all your children and grandchildren. I’m sorry for your loss.
We are sad to hear of Lyman's passing. We send our love to you and your family. We think the world of you and Lyman. We have many great memories. Love Boyd and Diane Hamilton
Audrea, we were so sorry to hear of Lyman's failing health, and then passing. Wow, you had 60+ years together here and you have eternity to look forward to! We love you! You will be in our thoughts and prayers. Valerie and Gordon Butterfield
Dear Audrey and Family,
