Posted

Visitation will be 6-8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7, at Roller-Christeson Funeral Home, with graveside service at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 8, at Bruno Cemetery.

On Monday, Feb. 3 (2020) Lucy Dell (Adams) Pyle left this world and was reunited with those she had longed to see for many years. Lucy Dell was born July 3, 1931, in Bruno, to Clarence R. Adams and Lou (McEntire) Adams, having been named after both of her grandmothers. 

Lucy Dell married O.B. Pyle Jr., on Dec. 24, 1948. She attended school at Anderson Flat and Everton, and was in the graduating class of 1949 at Bruno School. She was a member of the Church of Christ.  For 72 years, Lucy resided in her home on the family farm in Bruno where she was a homemaker, cowhand, babysitter, and vital member of the community. She and Junior operated a dairy for 38 years where many lively conversations could be heard, as well as a beef cattle operation. They were honored as the 2007 Marion County Farm Family of the Year.  

Lucy Dell took pleasure in helping others that were in need. Her outspokenness never left you wondering where she stood on an issue. She enjoyed cooking and baking, sewing, and reading western romance books, but most of all spending time with her family. Watching and reading books to all of her grandchildren gave her the most joy.   

Lucy Dell was preceded in death by her husband; her parents; a brother, Jimmy Ray Adams; a sister, Joyce Adams; and a daughter-in-law, Nancy Pyle.  

She is survived by her son, Billy Pyle, of Bruno; her daughter, Linda (David) Carpenter, of Cedarburg, Wisconsin; four grandchildren, Jon (Laura) Pyle, of Bruno, Lesley (Keith) Edmonds, of Bruno, Sara Pyle, of Conway, and William (Julie) Carpenter, of Cedarburg, Wisconsin; five great-grandchildren, Evyn (Veronica) Edmonds, Allie Edmonds, Erica and Bridget Pyle, and Lucas Carpenter; one great-great-grandson, Bryson Edmonds; and a host of dear friends.   

Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7, at Roller-Christeson Funeral Home Chapel in Harrison.

Graveside service will be at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8, at the Bruno Cemetery, with Luell McCutchen officiating.
