Nancy Marie was born on October 31, 1954 in Hawarden, IA to Rolland and Ona (Johnson) Abraham. She grew up in rural Beresford, graduating from Beresford High School in 1972. She earned an LPN degree from Lake Area Tech in Watertown and later a RN degree from USD in Vermillion. She married Mike Lyle on July 20, 1974 at Dalesburg Lutheran Church, Vermillion, SD. The couple made their home in Canton, SD and wintered in Mesa, AZ (over the last 10 years).
Nancy was a dedicated nurse who was respected by both patients and staff at Avera Behavioral Health and Keystone Treatment Center, where she was the Director of Nursing for many years. She enjoyed antiquing, riding motorcycle, going to the zoo, and sharing her love of Organ Stop Pizza with family and friends. She was a professional shopper who never missed a rummage sale and believed Christmas shopping was a year-round activity. When not hunting for a deal, she cherished time with her family. Attending her children’s and grandchildren’s activities was her greatest joy. She was a member of the Red Hat Society and a Superbowl group. She will be remembered for being a good friend who was always willing to help those in need.
She is survived by her husband of 44 years, Mike; sons, John (Jackie), Mitchell, SD and Patrick (Amber), Pella, IA; daughter, Marissa (Andy) Rippentrop, Sioux Falls, SD; sisters, Lynette (Dave) Nelson, Volga, SD and Laurie Filley, Cameron, MO; grandchildren: Cassidy, Kaden, Sophie, Greydin, Kanten, Clayton, Griffin and Vivienne; along with numerous extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents: Rolland and Ona; sister, Diane Larson; and grandchildren: Christopher and Tristin Rippentrop.

Mike Lyle and family, I am so sorry for your loss. She was an amazing individual. I loved her sense of humor.
Thoughts & Prayers to you and your family Mike.
Mike,
So sorry for your loss.
Mike and family,
We are so sorry to hear this news. May you find comfort in knowing there are so many of us keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.
MIKE, SO VERY SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR WIFE’S PASSING. MY SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
There are no words to comfort you at this time of great loss. We all loved her. All of us who were fortunate enough to know Nancy are left with such precious memories–“Nancyisms”, stories that made us cry with laughter and of course her no-nonsense approach to life in general. I used to tell her, “I want to be just like you when I grow up.” She was an amazing nurse—smart and skillful, kind and compassionate to her patients and coworkers.She was a true-blue friend. She loved her family deeply and unconditionally with every inch of her being. She would come in to my office to just “catch up” and when she left, my whole day went a little better. Oh what I wouldn’t give for just one more story or one more hug from my dear friend. Heaven is a little better now that you are there. Until I see you again.
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
I’ll never forget her great stories, her fun laugh, her zest for a good deal and sharing those good deals with her loved ones. It was an honor having known her. Love to all the Lyle’s and extended family. She will be remembered fondly.
Mike and family, so sorry to hear the loss of Nancy! Cherish all the great memories you created over the years!
Michael and family, I am so very sorry to hear of Nancy’s passing. I do wished to visit you in AZ sometime but it hadn’t been possible the times I was down there. I will pray for comfort and peace to all of you with those hard days ahead. God Bless you.
