daughter of Walter and Stella Upchurch
Letha was the seventh of eight children. She spent her childhood days milking the cows, washing clothes in the nearby spring, spinning wool into yarn and working around the farm. After attending Queen's City's Courtland School, she married.
Letha Upchurch married Colquitt Pyle on 7 February 1930. He preceded her in death.
Her home and farm duties expanded as she helped in the cotton fields, cooked three meals a day, canned fruits and vegetables and caring for her young son.
Letha worked along side Colquitt when the family became raising chickens for Pilgrim's Pride. Whatever the weather, she fed 26,000 baby chickens, morning, noon and night. Later, she worked as a sales clerk for Lindsey-Manning and other dry goods stores, but drove back to the farm at lunch each day to feed the chickens. Mrs. Pyle sold eggs and butter, and when the price of chickens dropped too low for selling, she raised the chickens, gathering and giving away over 1,000 eggs a day.
Letha took delight in giving to others, and saw that no one left her house empty-handed. She loved her family, sharing laughter with them and working energetically to meet their needs. Whether playing marbles with her granddaughters, picking blueberries with her great-grandchildren, making beautiful quilts to share, or traveling with her niece and nephew, she was happiest when serving others.
Letha Upchurch Pyle was a loving and dedicated wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She spent her long life sharing with and encouraging those who were near her through both her words and her actions.
