Annabelle Pyles, 82, of Columbia, KY passed away Saturday, July 13, 2024 at her residence, with her family by her side. She was born January 9, 1942 in Jamestown, KY to the late Louis Bryant and Lola Alma Woolridge Snow.

Annabelle graduated from Russell County High School in 1960 to then attend Illinois Masonic Nursing School in Chicago, Illinois.  She earned her bachelor’s degree in 3 years to become an RN.  She worked many years at Adair Memorial and Westlake Hospitals in Columbia, covering in all areas such as surgery, the ER and her favorite, Obstetrics - delivering babies. She also worked with the Adair County Health Department part-time while transitioning to be active in building the family business now known as Joe Pyles Brick and Block. She was co-founder and co-owner, doing all accounting and clerical duties for the company and its varied diversified interests until June of this year. 

Annabelle was a loving, supportive and faithful partner to her husband Joe, being married for 59 years. She was also a caring involved mother, determined to shower her children with fond guidance and wisdom and was completely devoted and in love with all her grandchildren and great grandchildren - who allowed her to become affectionately known as “MaBelle”.
