D. Joanne Lytle, lovingly known as DJ, entered the arms of the Lord on June 30, 2025. Born to Clayton and Mable Fletcher on September 1, 1932, she lived a life of quiet strength, service, and devotion.
After graduating from Wichita's East High School in 1950, DJ worked with the Extension Homemakers Unit and as a secretary at Boeing after graduating from Friends University.
In 1952 she married Robert D Lytle her high school sweetheart. Together they raised two children Paul and Susan.
DJ survived much tragedy in her life with the loss of her father at age 12 and a younger brother. A strong resilient DJ created a warm home: cooking family meals, sewing, caring for pets, and enjoying a fun shopping trip. DJ cared tenderly for her own mother in her later years. Her unwavering love shaped every generation that followed.
Her survivors include daughter, Susan Lytle Martin; daughter in law, Virginia N. Lytle; grandchildren, Trevor Lytle, Zachary Lytle, Andy Martin and Abby Martin and great grandchild Gregory Paul Lytle.
DJ is preceded in death by her husband, Robert Lytle (1999); son, Paul A. Lytle and brothers, Richard D. Fletcher, Thad (Sonny) Fletcher and Clayton D. Fletcher.
DJ's kindness, resilience, and devotion will be cherished always.
