Marcella "Sally" Kyle

Marcella “Sally” Kyle, 83, Wausau, passed away Tuesday November 22, 2022, after a long fight with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

She was born June 10, 1939, in Wausau, daughter of the late Thomas and Gertrude (Kuharski) Searing.  On June 10, 1960, she married the love of her life, Wayne R. Kyle in Wausau.  He preceded her in death September 4, 2008.

Sally had several jobs but the one that was the most rewarding to her was providing childcare for her grandchildren and many other children.  She loved and adored her grandkids and great-grandkids and showed it by attending and enthusiastically cheering them on at their endless sporting events such as baseball, softball, wrestling, gymnastics, and hockey.  She also looked forward to all of their school and church events.  Her faith was very important to Sally and she was always involved in volunteer efforts at her beloved Holy Name Catholic Church and the St Catherine Council.  In earlier years, Al-Anon was a Godsend to her.  She gained the information she needed to be a great wife and mother which proved to be a great success.  During her involvement with Al-Anon she also gained lifelong friends that were always there for each other.  Sally was a social butterfly.  She enjoyed water aerobics, Grief Share group, high school girls group and didn’t hesitate to volunteer wherever she thought she could help.  Friendships were so important to her and she cherished all of them.  She was an avid Brewers and Packers fan.  Sally was an excellent baker and made sure her cookie drawer was always full because it was the first place everyone went to upon entering her house.  In her spare time she enjoyed yard work and sitting on her swing.

Survivors include her children, Chris (Karen) Kyle, Wausau, Michael (Sandy) Kyle, Wausau, Donna (Scott) Treu, Wausau, Theresa (Dave) O’Brien, Merrill; nine grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren; brother, Tom (Carol) Searing.

Besides her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by brothers, Richard and Jerry Searing.

The Funeral Mass will be celebrated 11:30 a.m. Monday, November 28, 2022 at Holy Name Catholic Church, Wausau.  Rev. Samuel Martin will preside.  Visitation will be Monday from 9:30 a.m. until the time of services all at Holy Name Catholic Church, Wausau.
