Elaine Cummings Pyle, 68, of Burnsville, Mississippi, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, August 6, 2015, at her residence. She was born in Booneville, MS on March 9, 1947 to the late Joyce and Dudgar Cummings. Elaine exemplified devotion, strength, and love. She met every aspect of her life with vigor and enthusiasm; she lived in such a way that there seemed to be no challenge of life that she couldn’t overcome. The way she loved and cared for her family was second to none; she was always willing to do anything for the ones she loved no matter what. Her life was centered around her family; she was a faithful daughter, wife, mother and grandmother. Elaine was continuously engaged in doing something to care for the needs of others and she always put everyone else first. She was willing to work tirelessly at everything she wished to do and there was no standing in her way once her mind was made up. She also loved being occupied with most any task that allowed her to be outside. She enjoyed being with people and was kind to everyone she met. She was married to the late Jimmy Pyle for 50 years and they built a beautiful life and family together.
