Kyle Eckel Obituary

Kyle Eckel It is with great sadness that the family of Kyle Rochelle (Kanady) Eckel announce her passing at Stanford Hospital on Saturday, April 5, 2014 at the age of 58 years. Kyle will be lovingly remembered and missed by her husband Jeff, her children Amber Harris and husband Mike, Jeff Eckel Jr. and Scott Eckel and wife Alicia. Her three sisters will be mourning her loss as well; Kelly Scharosch and husband Dennis, Kate Binder and husband Jim and Kim Starnes and husband Steve. Kyle will also be fondly remembered by 9 beautiful grandchildren whom she dearly loved. They are Nicholas, Kyler, Alyssa, Katherine, Michael, Cameron, Kylee, Karter, and Kaydence. Born in Porterville on January 11, 1956 to Virgil Kelly and Dorothy Jo (Kinney) Kanady, Kyle exhibited a captivating love for life. Things that were important to her, she loved fiercely. First in her life was her love of Jesus Christ and her total devotion to him. She also dearly loved her family and friends. Kyle loved dogs and cruising, whether on the back of a motorcycle or on the deck of a ship. Lastly, but not least she loved her kids and grandkids. They brought more joy to her life than they will ever know. The Eckel family would like to thank all our brothers and sisters in Christ, whose prayers and words of encouragement have sustained us through this difficult time. Also thanks to all the employers whose patience and understanding have been greatly appreciated. And to the doctors and nurses at both Kaweah Delta and Stanford, thank you for your professionalism, compassion and dedicated attention. Funeral services for Kyle will take place on Monday, April 14, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. at Salser and Dillard Funeral Chapel 127 E Caldwell Ave. in Visalia. Burial will be at Woodville Cemetery following the service. A memorial tribute may be offered by logging onto www.salseranddillard.com
