Mrs. Doyle was born in Greenville, SC, a daughter of the late Harold Carlyle Lewis and late Annie Ruth Youngblood Lewis Jones. She was the former owner and operator of the Country Kitchen and Arnie's in Myrtle Beach as well as Carolina Yacht Landing in Little River, where she was an interior designer.

She was an avid reader, animal lover, and loved listening to live music, especially the oldies and classic rock. Mrs. Doyle was a former antiques and coin collector and loved working in home restorations. She had an adventurous spirit, big personality, incredible sense of humor and enjoyed watching Unsolved Mysteries and true crime documentaries with her daughter.
