She passed away peacefully at her home in Tyler, Wednesday, November 6, 2024. Shirley Catherine Lammers Pyle was born August 14, 1943 in Aviston, IL. She had been a resident of Tyler, Texas for 27 years. Tom and Shirley owned and operated Pyle Properties.
She loved people, but most of all, she loved her family; her favorite occupation was being a Grandma. She was a beloved member of the Chapel of Saints Peter and Paul, where she served with devotion as a Eucharistic Minister. She was also an active member of the Altar Society and her new favorite hobby became playing Mahjong.
Shirley was preceded in death by her husband of 49 years, Earl Tom Pyle; parents, Frank and Lillian Lammers; and brother, Jim Lammers. She is survived by her sister, Ruth Ann Kinstle, brother, Robert Lammers, her three children, Toma Donley, Matt Pyle, and Mari Haft and ten grandchildren, Mara, Luke, Paul, Travis, Trevor, Calvin, Trinity, Jonah, Tyler Jon (TJ), and Melia.
Since Shirley had tremendous patriotism, if desired, memorials may be made to Tunnels to Towers at www.T2T.org in her name, an organization she strongly supported during her life.
