Janet Lyles
February 28, 1963 ~ September 30, 2022
Resided in:
Swannanoa, NC
Janet Pate Lyles, 59, of Swannanoa, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, September 30, 2022. Born February 28, 1963, she was preceded in death by her parents, George and Judy Pate, and her cherished uncle, Willard Worley.
Janet graduated from Owen High School, attended AB Tech, and was employed by Carolina Hand and Sports Medicine. She loved the Lord and attended Biltmore Baptist Church. The beach was her happy place. The mountains were her haven. Music was her great escape. And Heaven is now her resting place.
Ever the consummate encourager and trusted confidante, she was known for her kindness to all, her quiet strength, and a smile that would light up the room. She loved her family fiercely, her friends faithfully, and her felines fabulously.
Janet is survived by her beloved son, Cameron Lyles and his fiancé, Abby Newton, of Burnsville; grandson, Tyven Lyles, of Burnsville; sister, Tamra Gilbert (Darren), of Swannanoa; brother, Terry Pate, of Black Mountain; aunts, Ruth Payne (Glen) and Sarah Phillips (Dennis) of Candler, and June Watkins of Fletcher; cousins Tina Robinson (Steve), of Black Mountain, and Jeff Payne (Becky) of Clayton, NC; as well as many dear family and friends.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Sunday, October 9, 2022, at 4 PM, at Friendship Presbyterian Church at 1137 Montreat Rd, Black Mountain, NC, with Rev. Robert Drake officiating.

We are all still in shock of you leaving so soon. You are going to be missed by so many. I believe God had better plans for you and I trust we will see you again. I have lots of good memories that will be cherished. Prayers and blessings to Cameron. Rest In Peace my friend.
I will always remember that 20 minutes in to my Daddy’s first birthday in heaven was your arrival time in heaven. You, your mother, and my mother once threw me the most beautiful surprise sweet 16 birthday party. I can’t help but think that our mothers planned another party for 9/30/22 and were eagerly awaiting the guest of honor’s arrival. Oh, the joy you brought to Heaven that night. I can only imagine. I love you and will see you on the other side. Make sure there’s cake…..and lots of icing. ♥️🧁
Didn’t get to see or be with her but we were close in heart! It is so hard to think that she is gone! Just to know she’s with Jesus makes me happy for her, son and family !
My prayers, love and sympathies are with you Cameron and family
Dearest Janet the lord has another sweet blessed angel. You were always just sweet and kind and I loved so much sitting on the back porch at your home and listening to the birds and the gentle babble of your water feature. You loved Cameron so much and I pray he knows how much. Peace in heaven friend.
