After a courageous journey with dementia, Christine Pye Lytle, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, passed away on November 12, 2024. She was reunited in heaven with her parents, Archibald and Rowena Pye, and her brothers, Roger and Russell Pye, who preceded her in death.
Christine graduated from Tillamook High School in 1970, where she was an active participant in many musical endeavors. Music was a great passion of hers, and she was known for her extraordinary talent. She performed in the choirs of First Christian Church and Tillamook High School, participated in numerous theater productions and operas, and for many years was a member of the renowned Crystal Cathedral Choir in Garden Grove, California. In recognition of her musical abilities, Christine was awarded the Gold Cup by the Monday Musical Club of Tillamook in 1970.
In addition to her love of music, Christine was an accomplished cook who enjoyed exploring new culinary techniques. She delighted in hosting friends and family at her home, where her warmth and hospitality were always felt. A true lover of travel, Christine had a gift for discovering the best dining experiences wherever her adventures took her.
Christine is survived by her husband, Norman Lytle of Carlton, OR, and daughters, Tricia Robideau Clark (Curtis Clark) of Carlton, OR, and Kimberly Schmidt of Scottsdale, AZ. She is also survived by her sister, Charlotte Pye Warner (Marshall Warner), as well as her cherished grandchildren: Dallas Halsey, Taylor Roth Snow (Shaun Snow), Logan Roth, Jacob Clark (Katie Clark), Reagan Roth, and Lucas Clark and three great-grandchildren. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly.
A celebration of Christine's life will be held on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at 11:00 AM at Macy & Son Funeral Home, 135 N.E. Evans Street, McMinnville, OR 97128.
