The Charlotte Observer, (NC) - September 21, 1999
Linda Jeanne Pyle, born November 2, 1947, died Sunday, September
19, 1999, after a lengthy illness, at her home.
Linda was an individual of great style, perseverance and integrity.
These attributes became evident as a young girl, when Linda, determined to
achieve a style beyond her Midwestern upbringing, convinced her mother to buy
her a red dress that had captured her imagination. Even though she was only
twelve and possessed a slight build, she knew that the woman's size dress was
the right one for her and that she was on her way. Linda went on to major in
fashion at Washington University in St. Louis. After graduation, and in spite
of her father's best efforts to have her follow his footsteps in the management
of Kraft Foods, Linda pursued her dreams of fashion and retail. After a brief
brush with work at Kraft Foods, Linda left to assume a position as Special
Events and Fashion Coordinator for Leggett Department Stores. Her growth in the
company followed as a result of her talent, hard work, and unflappable nature.
Linda leaves us as the Fashion Director/Special Events for Belk Store Services.
Her work carried her throughout the Southeast and the fashion centers of New
York City. She was tireless and dependable; as evidenced by the respect and
friendship she earned from her many colleagues around the country. Beyond her
work responsibilities, Linda was a supporter of the United Way and each year
committed extra effort to assure successful campaigns. In her spare time, Linda
created her dream come true, a Victorian decorated townhome in Charlotte's
Fourth Ward. Her exquisite taste and attention to detail were recognized in a
special pictorial and article in March, 1997 Home Section of the Charlotte
Observer. Yet, for all her accomplishments, Linda is known to her family,
friends and coworkers as a quietly, special person, never asking for attention
but always seeking fair treatment for others.
A memorial service to celebrate her life and share memories will be
held at 7 PM, Tuesday, September 21, 1999 at Harry and Bryant Chapel in the
Oaks, 500 Providence Road.
Surviving members of her family are her parents, E. J. and Betty
Pyle of Davenport, Florida; aunt, Eula Huskey of Mountain Grove, Missouri; aunt, Grace Blankenship of Charlotte, North Carolina; uncle, Scott Harris of Odessa,
Texas; uncle, S. J. Harris of Tulsa, Oklahoma; and numerous cousins.
