Pyle (Karen) of North Charleston, SC; seven grandchildren: Joshua Sedgwick (Rita), Jacob Sedgwick, Shelby Pyle (Bundrick), Jeremy Sedgwick (Nicole), Sarah Sedgwick Baldwin (David), Alexandria Pyle Reid (Braden), and Taylor Pyle Loyd (David); eleven great-grandchildren: Phillip, Titus, and Aurora Sedgwick; Nolan and Mason Bundrick; Luke Baldwin; Kamden and Lauren Reid; Summer and Max Loyd; and Lily Sedgwick; her brother, David C. Thompson (MilvieDean) of Conway, SC; and her sisters, Audrey Giles (the late Bobby) of High Point, NC; Scottie Goude (the late Billy) of Conway, SC; and Dorothy Baker (Gene) of Conway, SC.
