Ilene Coyle

Ilene Marie Coyle (Cougle), age 88, of Telford, Pennsylvania, went home to be with her Lord and Savior peacefully on July 27, 2025. Born on July 11, 1937, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she lived a life marked by deep faith, unwavering love for her family, and a generous spirit that touched all who knew her.

Ilene was the beloved wife of W. Walter Coyle Jr., with whom she shared 69 years of marriage-a testament to their enduring partnership and devotion. Together they raised four sons: W. Walter III and his wife Denise of Souderton; Daniel J. and his wife Darlene of Harleysville; Richard W. and his wife Judy of Telford; and Timothy D. of Alpharetta, Georgia. Ilene cherished her role as matriarch to a large and loving family that includes 14 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren. She also shared a special bond with her twin sister, Marlene Carson, and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Elmer and Elsie Cougle; her brothers Walter Meinholt, Roy Cougle, Rick Cougle, Harry Cougle and her sister Helen Calhoun.

Ilene's life was deeply rooted in her Christian faith. Her belief in the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior was the cornerstone of everything she did. For over 53 years, she was an active member of her church community at Hilltown Baptist, where she participated in Women's Bible studies and mentored young girls and women to grow in their faith. Her passion for sharing the Gospel was evident to all-whether among family or strangers-she never missed an opportunity to speak about having a personal relationship with Christ.

Hospitality came naturally to Ilene. She loved welcoming people into her home for food and fellowship, creating warm spaces where friendships could flourish and hearts could be uplifted. She found joy in reading and playing games with friends and family alike-moments that brought laughter and connection across generations.

Ilene's legacy is one of faithfulness-to God, to her family, and to the many lives she touched through kindness and conviction. May her memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved her. A Celebration of Life will be held on August 16, 2025 at Hilltown Baptist Church 26 Upper Church Rd., Chalfont at 11:00 a.m. Following the Celebration of Life service there will be a luncheon where attenders will be able to meet with family members.
