Lyle Delmont Waters was born April 16, 1934 in Montevideo, MN to Delmont and Lucille (Aitchison) Waters.  He attended and graduated from Montevideo High School.  Lyle was united in marriage to Elaine Hanson on July 10, 1956 in Watertown, SD.  To this union eight children were born.

Lyle spent most of his professional career working for Olin/Ecusta as a supervisor and later worked for Langdon Building Center.  Lyle enjoyed hunting, fishing, tinkering with cars, and anything involving the outdoors.  He had a garden of his own where grew fresh produce, with an abundance of raspberries and rhubarb.  Lyle inherited a love for polka music from the days of listening to his father play.  The activity he loved the most was spending time with his family and friends.

He is survived by his children, Lyndon (Carol) Waters, Watertown, SD, Lonnie (Melodee) Waters, Watertown, SD, Lori (Darrold) Schweitzer, Watertown, SD, Lisa Feil (Dave Hoffarth), Langdon, ND, Lee Waters, Crookston, MN, and Lana Waters (Michael Hayes),  Fargo, ND; 19 grandchildren, 42 great-grandchildren; brother, George (Carol) Waters, Montevideo, MN; sisters, Beverly Hunstad,  Jasper, MN, and Virginia Dally, Delano, MN; daughter-in-law, Joanie Waters, Walhalla, ND;  and numerous family and friends.

Lyle was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Elaine in 1997; sons, Lyle Waters Jr., and Lance Waters; and great-grandson, Owen Bierman.

Blessed be his memory.
