On Wednesday, May 4, 2022 our Heavenly Father called Cleola Petty Hoyle to her seat in Heaven.

Cleola was born to Henry and Susie Oates on October 1, 1922. At an early age, she confessed Christ and was a member of Shiloh Baptist Church where Mission was her ministry. She was active both in church and in her community.

She touched the city of Shelby like no other. No matter who you where, whenever she cooked, you could come eat; if you were in need, she would give; and her prayers rang throughout Bonny Street so loud that those who came near; approached with respect and love for God.

To us, her family, Cleola P. Hoyle was an Exceptional Mother, revered and admired for her Wisdom, Caring Heart, Amazing Cooking, Faith in God, Encouragement and a Life that demonstrated a day-to-day walk with God.
