I first remember When as little cousins we would ride the train to California every summer to visit uncle harry and aunt Muriel and the kids. Pat was the same age, actually by only 10 days, as my twin sisters Marilyn and Carolyn. Jim was my age then Jay and Margie was my sister Nancy’s age. So when we went and stayed in their beautiful big house we always had so much fun. I think we went to Disneyland the year it opened. Their whole family was so musical even when they were small. We all got older and didn’t get to see each other much. Pat has always been a great example to me with her music and the wonderful family they raised. We loved knowing Danita the most of their kids and loved it when Pat and Joyce would come down to visit us when their choir sang in st george. She will always hold a place in our heart. We are so blessed to know she is with her family in heaven snd without painWe will see her again. Love to all the family.

I met Pat & Joyce, who were always a duo, before I ever joined Chauntenettes way back in 1982. They and their husbands had a small wood shop business on Geneva Rd. I worked with P & J during my 45+- years of singing with the chorus. They were especially helpful caring for our vast the musical library, during the four times I served as C. President. I had a hard time calling them by their right names, because they were inseparable, Pat & Joyce or Joyce & Pat. We will all try to give extra love to Joyce now.... Carolyn Law, Mock, James

I first met Pat when I joined Chauntenettes in 2016. When I became the assistant director, I spent a lot of time with her, Joyce and Bonnie as we went through the extensive music library to count and catalogue every piece of music. It was then I got to appreciate her good nature, enthusiasm and humor. She was very organized and dedicated to making sure the music library was kept in tact. Later, I discovered we shared a love of jigsaw puzzles. We began sharing puzzles, along with our love of family, the gospel and music. I loved and admired this great lady.

Pat Koyle - Obituary

June 30, 2022
On Tuesday, June 28, 2022, Lois Patricia Koyle, loving wife of the late Howard Koyle and wonderful mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away in her home at the age of 84.

Pat was born Lois Patricia Lyons on June 12, 1938, in Alhambra, California, the eldest of four children. She went to school in Southern California and attended Long Beach State College, where she studied music and played trombone in the marching band. She married Howard Koyle in the Los Angeles Temple on November 25, 1959, and together they raised four children of their own, Danita, Kathleen, Sheila, and Kenneth. Pat’s family moved to Utah in the summer of 1977, where Pat and Howard would spend the rest of their lives.

Pat was very active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She visited more than 60 LDS temples during her lifetime, and derived great joy from her participation in church activities. She was a talented musician and sometimes served as a church organist and pianist. She also enjoyed singing and performed with the Chauntenette Women’s Chorus for three decades along with her dear friend and companion of 40 years, Joyce Benson, with whom Pat spent the last years of her life in the Orem home they shared. Pat was known and loved for her faith, compassion, sense of humor, and love of laughter.

Pat was preceded in death by her husband Howard. She is survived by her brothers Jim and Jay, her sister Margie, and her four children, nine grandchildren, and sixteen great-grandchildren.
