Byler

Judy Florence Byler was born on May 31, 1941, in Shiner and passed away peacefully on May 6, 2026. She lived a life marked by faith, devotion, grace, and she will be remembered with deep affection by all who knew her.

Judy was the beloved daughter of Herman Olle Jr. and Marie Malcik Olle, both of whom preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Bobby Byler, whom she loved dearly and with whom she shared many cherished years. Her life was enriched by the love of her family, and she treasured the bonds she shared with each generation that followed her.

She is survived by her sons, Scott Byler and his wife Debra, and Chad Byler and his wife Shawna. Judy was a proud and devoted grandmother to Callie Minor and her husband Jeramy, Brandon Byler and his wife Dana, and Presley Byler. She was also blessed with three great-grandchildren, Blakely, Kynslie, and Colston, who brought great joy to her later years. Her family was one of her greatest blessings.

Judy was preceded in death by her sister, Jeanine Scates (Tom) and brother, Robert Olle. She is survived by her sister-in-law, Hattie Olle, and sister-in-law Betty Yates (Steve), and sister-in-law, Nancy Dyer. She also leaves behind numerous nephews, nieces, and dear friends who will remember her kindness, her warm spirit, and the steady example she set throughout her life.

A lifelong Christian, Judy’s faith was central to who she was and how she lived. She found strength, comfort, and purpose in her relationship with the Lord, and her life reflected the values she held dear. Her love for religion and church was evident in the way she lived with compassion and trust in God’s plan. She was a woman of quiet strength and sincere devotion, and her faith guided her through every season of life.

Judy earned her Bachelor of Education from Southwest Texas State College and devoted her working years to the calling of teaching. She approached her work with patience, intelligence, and care, leaving a meaningful impression on those she taught and those who worked beside her. Her profession was more than a career to her. It was a way to serve others, encourage growth, and make a lasting difference in the lives of children and families.

Outside of her work, Judy enjoyed the simple and meaningful pleasures of life. She enjoyed travel, yardwork and landscaping. These interests reflected her thoughtful nature and her appreciation for order, beauty, and the world God created.

Those who knew Judy will remember her as loving, intelligent, and kind. She had a gentle presence that brought comfort to others, and she carried herself with dignity and warmth. Her life was a testimony to faithfulness, family devotion, and the quiet strength that comes from a life rooted in Christian values. She touched many lives in ways that will not be forgotten, and her memory will remain a blessing to all who loved her.

Though her earthly journey has ended, Judy’s life continues to speak through the love she gave, the family she cherished, and the faith she lived out each day. Her family takes comfort in the promise of eternal life and in the hope of reunion through Christ. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever held in the hearts of those who were blessed to know her.
