Patricia Doyle Obituary

Doyle Patricia M. Born on October 30th, 1942 to parents James and Elsie Doyle. Sister of Kay O'Callaghan, Buddy Doyle (deceased) Mini, MaryAnn Nevin (deceased), Terry and Renee Doyle, Michael and Lynne Doyle, Bob and Jeanine Doyle, Marge and Charlie Moore (deceased), Ginger Doyle, Richard Doyle (deceased), Jack Doyle, Dan and Jeanie Doyle, Bill Doyle (deceased), and Florence (Candy) Doyle. Pat was aunt to many nieces and nephews and also, to many grand nieces and nephews. Pat spent her life working in packaging with her colleagues at Glaxo-Smith-Kline, and in her later years at work, served in the Research and Development Departments for the company. She lived in South Philadelphia during her entire life where she enjoyed the company of family and friends and cheering on her favorite football teams, the Eagles and the New York Jets. She enjoyed all things Italian and South Philly and never wanted to leave "home." Pat is survived by her family and friends, and passed peacefully in the loving care of the staff at Vitas Hospice Center. The family is grateful to Vitas for their kindness to Pat during her final journey days. If you wish to honor her memory, feel free to donate to any charity of your choice, and enjoy each day of life to the full. If you wish, please feel free to join us for Pat's funeral on Saturday, August 26th, 2023 at St. Gabriel's Church, 2917 Dickinson Street, Philadelphia, PA.
