Wilda Pyles Obituary
Wilda was born Dec. 17, 1928, to Charley Earl and Edna Catherine Brewer Pyles. He married Marguerite Hunt on July 31, 1953. He worked for 30 years at Southern States in Elizabethtown and farmed part time. He was a member of Rineyville Baptist Church, where he served as a deacon for more than 50 years.
In addition to his wife and parents, he also was preceded in death by two sisters, Violet Shawchuck and Katherine Walsh.
Survivors include two sons, Glenn (Maryellen) Pyles of Elizabethtown and Kevin Pyles of Rineyville; six grandchildren, Chris (Paula) Pyles, Glenda (Jason) Curry, Lincoln Pyles, Carley Pyles, Bethany Pyles and Hannah Pyles; and five great-grandchildren.
In effort to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, as set forth by the CDC and Governor of Kentucky, the visitation, service and burial at Forks of Otter Creek Cemetery are private.
A celebration of Mr. Pyles life will be held at a later date.
To pay respects, the family requests you drive by Wilda's house between 4 and 7 p.m. Thursday, March 26, blow your horn and wave to the family. Let the family know you are thinking of them by leaving a message on the funeral home website at www.nebfh.com or call the funeral home and leave a name and message for them.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember Wilda Earl from our Pyle reunions. I know he enjoyed them as much as my dad ,George Pyle did. Our father passed away in September 2014 at 94.
Although Foster Pyle came from a large family we seem to have gotten smaller and very wide spread.
I wish your family strength and comfort. Wilda Earl is at peace with his God

I am so very sorry for your loss. I just learned today of your fathers passing. His grandfather was Foster Pyle who was also my grandfather through Fosters second wife Belle. My father was their son George Pyle. I remember your Dad from some of our family reunions here in Pennsylvania. I am very sorry for your loss this past spring and will pass this information on his death to my sister as well. May your Father rest in eternal peace in our heavenly Fathers embrace.
