Mary Louise Pyle

Mary Louise Pyle entered this life on March 11, 1943 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Mary was the daughter of the Rev. Scott B. Pyle and Nellie Zoe (Martin) Pyle. She was born deaf and had to face the many complexities of life not being able to hear any of the beautiful sounds of life. In 1962 she graduated from the Indiana School for the Deaf. She loved to sign and wanted others to learn but, as of yet, many of us only know bits and pieces of it. She spent many summers attending the Bill Rice Ranch for the Deaf, which she greatly enjoyed. Mary loved to paint and was very crafty. It was a joy to be around Mary and to watch her just keep going and going. So much so that during the past few years she was nicknamed our "Energizer Bunny". Being deaf, Mary had a unique way of communicating with us and sometimes it was comical. When Mary would pray she always prayed in sign language and was quite interesting to watch. Mary also went on mission trips with her father and sister. She will be greatly missed by all that knew her. On Sunday night March 19, 2023, our dear sweet aunt entered her eternal home to be with Jesus. Mary was preceded in death by her father, Rev. Scott B. Pyle, and two mothers, Nellie Zoe Martin and the Rev. Charlene Alton; two sisters and brothers-In-law, Jane (George) Franklin and Ruth (Jimmy) Huskins, and two brothers, Billie Gene Pyle and John G. Pyle. Mary is survived by one brother, the Rev. Scott B. Pyle II (Sandra) of Indianapolis, IN; four nephews, Scott (Patricia) Huskins of Rydal, GA, Jonathan Huskins of Clayton, OH, Daniel (Kathryn) Huskins of Arlington, OH, and Scott B. Pyle III (Meghan) of Sheridan, IN; two nieces, Anna (Huskins) Slone of Clayton, OH and Rebecca Pyle of Rossville, IN. Mary is also survived by her great-nephews, John Micah Slone and Scott Alton Huskins; two great-nieces, Kaydee Huskins and Mary Kathryn Huskins; her two dogs, Bucky James and Buster Brown, and a host of friends. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 am Saturday, March 25, 2023, at the Dr. Fulton Chapel at Union Bible College, 434 S. Union St., Westfield, Indiana, with Anna (Huskins) Slone and Rev. Scott B.
