Born Feb. 16, 1914, in the Town of Patterson Creek, she was the daughter of the late Cecil Lantz Hershberger and Susie Ellen (Logsdon) Hershberger. She was also preceded in death by her first husband, Edward Eugene Chaney and her second husband, Glenn Wilson Pyle; an infant brother, Vincent Eugene Hershberger, Patterson Creek; a sister, Margaret (Hershberger) Baldwin; a brother, Cecil Page "Bub" Hershberger, both of Fort Ashby; and a stepsister, Charlotte Logsdon, RFD, Ridgeley.
Mrs. Pyle was a homemaker and a Protestant by faith. She had been a Sunday school teacher and a previous member of St. Paul's Methodist Church, Patterson Creek. She later attended Assembly of God Churches.
Besides her family, Violet had two special loves in her life, namely her flowers and birds. She had a "green thumb" that could make a dead stick grow. She fed and watched her birds and worked word puzzles in her later years. Her memory and wit was marveled by all who knew her.
She is survived by two daughters, Anota Eileen (Chaney) Hitchins and husband Harry Hitchins, Potomac Park, Cumberland, Md., Sue Carol (Chaney) Phillips and husband Kenneth Phillips, Damascus, Md.; a son, Nile E.

She is also survived by half sisters, Sally Hayes, Madge Bradfield and Cathy Batchelor; half brother, Harold Hershberger; stepsister, Elma Allen; four stepgreat-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Violet had three very special prayer friends, Margaret Viands, Mary Kaylor and (her loving caretaker) Donna Albright. Also, she had great neighbors she could depend on that kept in contact with her.
