Alice Doyle Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She cherished her role as a devoted wife to her late husband, Earl Doyle, whom she married on May 28, 1948, in Bledsoe, Texas. Together, they shared a love for adventure, exploring the open road and dancing their nights away. Earl preceded her in death in 2007.
Throughout her life, Alice dedicated herself to her family. She was a loving mother, Ninnie, and friend. Rachel's family meant the world to her, and her legacy will live on through her family. Family reunions were a highlight of her life, where laughter and love abound. She was always delighted to share lunch with her dear friends, keeping her spirit alive and vibrant. Rachel loved dirt track racing and simply being outdoors. She had a special fondness for classic Westerns, with "Gunsmoke" being one of her favorites. After dedicating many years to serving the students at the Bonham Independent School District as a cafeteria worker, Rachel left a lasting mark on the community she cherished.
Rachel's legacy of love, resilience, and dedication to family will remain etched in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Albert and Thelma Sullivan, husband, Earl Doyle, son, Robert Early Doyle, brothers, Joe Ed Sullivan and Tommy Sullivan, sisters, Vera Truett, Bonnie Gandy, Billie Corothers, Joyce Hoffman, and grandson, Heath Doyle.
Rachel is survived by her children: Rick Doyle and wife Cindy, Teddy Doyle and wife Deanna, Heather Russell and husband Brandon, Jeremy Doyle and wife Heather, 10 grandkids, 24 great-grandkids, 7 great-great grandkids, and 42 nieces and nephews, along with many extended family members and friends.
A Visitation will be held at Cooper-Sorrells Funeral Home in Bonham on Saturday, July 19, 2025, from 10:00 AM-12:00 PM. We will remember her unwavering love, her zest for life, and the countless ways she enriched our lives. She will be profoundly missed, but her spirit will continue to inspire us as we carry her memory forward.
