HAROLD L. LYLES

Harold L. Lyles was called home to heaven on Sunday, Sept. 22, 2019, with his beloved wife of 48 years, Nancy Lyles, by his side. Born on Feb. 10, 1929, to the late Agnes and Clifford Lyles, Harold was a devoted husband, a loving father and a doting grandfather. He faithfully served his Lord and Savior, his family and his community. Harold was a lifelong member of Grace Baptist Church and lived a storied life as a veteran of World War II, owner of Spee-Bo's Drive-In Restaurant and the Lyles Insurance Agency. He retired from Aflac after many years of service.
