Judith Helen Kyle

Mrs. Judith Helen Kyle died in her home on May 22, 2022. She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Colonel David S. Kyle, and her sister, Patricia Eviston. Mrs. Kyle was the devoted, loving mother and grandmother survived by her four children: Bonnie Kyle Mistichelli (Orlando); Melanie Kyle Hughes (Chris); David S. Kyle II (Beth); Morgan S. Kyle and nine grandchildren. Mrs. Kyle passed away peacefully in the company of family at the age of 87.

A 1957 graduate of Ohio State University, Mrs. Kyle exercised her degree in Occupational Therapy before becoming a full-time mother and caring for her four children during Colonel Kyle’s two tours in Vietnam. Judy was an avid skier well into her 70s and gave hope and direction to several decade’s worth of young people as a guide and chaperone of ski adventure programs. An excellent gardener, she instilled a love of nature and gardening in all her children and grandchildren and served in several executive positions for the Fort Belvoir Garden Club. She was also chosen as an opening-season docent and host for the National Museum of the United States Army.

Interment alongside her husband at Arlington National Cemetery is expected next year.

A memorial service will be held Thursday, June 2nd, 4:00 pm at Cranford Church (9912 Old Colchester Rd, Lorton, VA).
