Jacqueline PyleAuthor Jacqueline Surguy Pyle, Jackie to family and friends, had an unusual beginning. Born in Indiana in 1930 the middle child of her parent's three children, Jackie's father died from tuberculosis and her mother became severely ill when Jackie was nly two. This tragedy forced the family to become scattered as the Great Depression raged. While the mother moved to the Southwest to slowly recover, Jackie and her older sister were raised by their grandmother and an aunt and uncle took the newborn baby girl. Jackie married Byron Pyle when she was 19 and they were married for over fifty years until his passing. They have four children. As an adult Jackie became interested in poetry and was published many times over the years, including her series "Making a Point with Poetry." Besides writing, Jackie has had a lifetime interest in civic improvement of her Hoosier community, interior design, and most passionately, politics. Ultimately, faith, family, and friends have always been the core of her life. Jacqueline Surguy Pyle passed away in September 2017, peacefully in her home in Connersville, Indiana, where she and her late husband Byron raised four children and a lot of memories and laughter. The slight smile on her face was evidence she was on her way to her permanent home. Read More Read Less
