Obituary of Madeline Doyle

DOYLE, Madeline Williams Madeline was born in Douglas, AZ on July 6, 1926 to Elizabeth and Ralph Williams. She passed away quietly on March 3, 2020. Madeline graduated from the University of Arizona with a degree in education. She married John Doyle in 1952. The two were great examples of lasting love for their children and subsequent generations. Madeline was an amazing role model, exemplifying a life of selflessness.

She was always there to attend to the needs of family and friends. She was active in St. Ambrose - her parish, Kappa Kappa Gamma, St. Luke's Home, and P.E.O. Madeline was preceded in death by her husband, John, and their son, Michael. She is survived by six children, John (Vikki), Miriam (Mike) Matz, Anne Doyle (Stew) Kobritz, Madeline (Joe) Hajek, Pat, and Mary (Ty) Reidhead, 15 grandchildren, and 17 great-grandchildren.
