Marilynne Doyle Obituary
Marilynne was a devoted wife, loving mother, proud grandmother to seven grandchildren, cherished friend, and former teacher who touched countless lives with her kindness, humor, and strength. She was known for her hardworking spirit, quick wit, and the deep love she had for her family.
Nothing brought Marilynne more joy than time spent with her grandchildren, tending to her garden, soaking up the sunshine, traveling to Florida, and enjoying all things Disney.
Her legacy of love, laughter, and resilience will live on in all who were fortunate enough to know her.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 56 years, Patrick Doyle; her loving children, Meggan Chelsey (Matthew), Meredith Richardson (David), and Devon Doyle (Kristin); and her treasured grandchildren, Jacob and Joshua Chelsey; Olivia, Alexa, and Julia Richardson; and Avery and Gavin Doyle.
In accordance with Marilynne's wishes, a private celebration of her life will be held with immediate family.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude for the love, prayers, and support during this difficult time.
