Ethel Louise Lyle

She was born on October 26, 1936 to the late Robert Dixon, Sr. and Daisy Mae Dixon. She attended Franklin Training School where she participated in her favorite sport, basketball. In 1968 she married Mr. Charles Lyle, Sr., and they remained married until his death in 2008. Always searching for the truth about God, she began to study the bible in 1969. On February 28, 1970, she was baptized as a Jehovah’s Witness. Dedicating her life to serving Jehovah, she became an active member of her community, volunteering to preach about her God. She helped others to know and love Him, as well as teach them the promises of the Bible. Her greatest love was preaching the truth of the Bible, with the hope of a life in paradise where everyone will serve Jehovah, living forever in perfection. She was generous, never hesitant to give to those in need. She owned and operated Lyle Group Daycare in North Nashville for over 40 years, taking care of countless children who also came to know her kind soul.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her sister, Bonita Ruth Dixon; a brother, Robert Dixon, Jr.; and a granddaughter, Chanelle Lyle.

She is survived by her children, Ann Lee, Elaine Moore, Esten Huitt, and Charles Lyle, Jr.; Grandchildren, Jason Goldthreate, Cory (Janice) Goldthreate, Nina (Mark) Coffman, Remi Lee, Sheena Moore, Serena (Brent) Sayles, Chaz Shelton, Chasity Lyle, and Charley Lyle; Great-grandchildren, Jayda Summers and Jason Earl Richards, II; and a host of other family members.
