She was born in Medford, MA on February 19, 1930, and was the daughter of the late Warren J. and Marjorie E. (McLaughlin) Ross. Marjorie was the beloved wife of the late John F. “Dubba” Doyle, and a devoted mother to Janet Gard and husband Stephen of York, ME, and Maureen McDonald and husband Marty of Andover.
