Marcia Lynn Pyle

Marcia - The women with the can-do, nothing is ever impossible, attitude. She amazed me often with her ability to do anything she set her mind to. I will miss her great words of wisdom, her caring spirit and of course, her love for good food. ;-)

BEST FRIENDS ARE FOREVER!

I sit and think of you
and all the things that we've been through.
You are my soul mate, my very best friend
and I know you'll be there until the end

Your shoulder to cry on will soon be gone
who will be there when something is wrong.
When times are tough you're always there
It shows me just how much you care

Although were going separate ways
you're in my heart till my final days.
Nothing can...

My husband and I are next door neighbors in Florida to Lou & Ernie Pyle. We had the priviledge of meeting Marsha and hearing her preach. She definitely had a gift from God which she shared with others. God Bless the wonderful family she leaves.

My husband and I are friends of Marcia's parents Lou and Ernie. Through them we heard so many wonderful things about Marcia and the joy she shared with so many. I did have the honor of meeting her and attending her church in Amery and could see the Spirit shining through her. What a legacy she leaves. God Bless all who loved her.

To Marsha's husband and children --
My grandma is a member at First Lutheran in Amery... we got to know Marsha through attending church occasionally with Grandma and Grandpa, but more so during the health issues we faced with my Grandpa over the years -- and finally as we said good-bye to Grandpa. Marsha was a great pastor and a wonderful person. We are so thankful for her trips to the cities to visit Grandpa in the hospital and to spend time with us-- either in prayer, stories or...

What a delight it is to know Marcia. Or perhaps a better way to phrase that would be to experience Marcia! In our telephone conversations, I appreciated her enthusiasm for the Via de Cristo ministry...then I visited her and the congregation at First Lutheran and observed that her contagious enthusiasm wasn't limited or directed to any specific program but clearly touched everyone and everything that in her path. She left a wake wherever she went and I'm glad to have been splashed by it!...

I am a member of First Lutheran in Amery - where I joined because of Marcia in 1992.
As I’d told Marcia, she’d been there through all the crises of my adult life,and the happy events: in particular, my wedding. She gave advice - sometimes bluntly - but always in my best interest. She truly exemplified grace & bravery since her diagnosis. I was very happy that she was able to meet my daughter, born in April. I won’t forget the last time we visited when despite the fact that she was...

I find myself at a total loss for words this morning. Marcia will be missed by so many. We know that she is busy this morning getting answers from God to all the questions that she has had during her lifetime. I hope he has a couple days free, because we know she can keep him busy!! :-) Marcia lived her faith so strongly and was such an inspiration. She married my husband and I, and baptized both of our children. The special memories we have of those days are in large part due to her...
