Jeananne Pyle

Jeananne Pyle, 77, of Portland, Oregon, passed away peacefully at her home on July 14, 2026, surrounded by her loved ones.

Born on June 18, 1949, in Seattle, Washington to James and Jeanne McKnight. Jeananne built a life centered on family, kindness, and generosity. She was the beloved wife of the late Warren Pyle, with whom she shared 50 years of love and memories.

Jeananne was preceded in death by her parents, James and Jeanne McKnight, husband, Warren Pyle, and her brothers, Rick McKnight and Dennis McKnight.

She is lovingly remembered by her daughter, Amy Hutchison; her son, Tim Pyle; her grandsons, Jacobi Gudgell, Ethan Gudgell, and Jaedon Head; and her brothers, Mike McKnight and Tom McKnight.

Jeananne found joy in life's simple pleasures. She loved knitting, sewing, arts n crafts, cheering on her grandsons at their sporting events, making homemade pickles, and, as her family will fondly remember with a smile, "burning chicken." These little moments reflected her witty sense of humor and the warmth she brought into every family gathering.

Above all, Jeananne was a devoted mother, grandmother, wife, sister, aunt, and friend. Her compassion, strength, and generous spirit touched everyone who knew her. Whether through a kind word, a helping hand, or simply being there when someone needed her, Jeananne made people feel loved.

Though our hearts are heavy with her passing, we find comfort in the countless memories she leaves behind. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
