The Baptist church was central to her long life, from early membership at Friendship Baptist Church, to serving as president of the Baptist Student Union at Georgia Baptist School of Nursing, to working with Vacation Bible School and serving on the long-range planning committee at Central Baptist Church in Americus. She was a faithful member of her Sunday School class there and sang in the Silvertones Choir. Her other volunteer activities included serving as a Girl Scout leader and on the board of the Flint River Girl Scout Council, participation in Band Boosters at Americus High School, and working at Red Cross blood drives. She was a talented maker of crafts of her own design, always grew beds of colorful flowers, no matter the season, and for years, tilled a backyard garden. She enjoyed canning, pickling, preserving and freezing all manner of fruits and vegetables. For the past four and a half years, she resided at Magnolia Manor in Americus. Until only a few weeks before her death, she kept up a regular correspondence with a wide network of acquaintances, frequently sending notes of encouragement and congratulation.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband of 52 years, Ralph D. Tyler, her sister Hilda Moore, and her daughter Beth Tyler Sandock. Survivors include her daughters Pamela Tyler, of New Orleans, and Sally Tyler, of Washington DC; a sister-in-law and nephew, Roberta Tyler and Mark Tyler, of Americus, and two cousins, Liza Parker and Joe Daniel, also of Americus.
Burial at Lebanon Cemetery in Plains will be private. The family suggests that anyone desiring to honor her memory might make a contribution in her name to the Friendship Camp, c/o Friendship Baptist Association, 504 E. Oglethorpe Street, Ellaville GA 31806.
