Burial will be in Calvary Cemetery. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service. Arrangements are under the direction of Larkin Chapel, Christy-Smith Funeral Homes. Edythe was born on March 16, 1910, in Ponca, NE, to Bertha (Beller) and John Burke. She was the dearest wife of the late Francis J. Doyle and a loving mother to the late Suzanne Rehea and Patrick T. Doyle. Edythe was a member of the Catholic Daughters, Blessed Sacrament Church, and volunteered for many years delivering meals on wheels. She was a devoted Notre Dame fan, and up until her death never missed watching a game. She was a woman of wisdom, love, and prayer. Those left to honor her memory include her children, Jane Studer, Diane (Harry) Walter, John (Jane) Doyle, Greg Doyle and Kathleen Doyle-Loktu; 15 grandchildren; and many great-grandchildren. The family would like to extend a special thank you to the Holy Spirit Retirement Home staff for taking such wonderful care of Edythe. The family would also like to thank her dear friends, Donna Ortt, Betty Rettenmaier, Connie Barrett, and Rosie and Jerry Mikulcz, who all gave extraordinary care to this special lady. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Holy Spirit Retirement Home. From the Sioux City Journal, Sunday, April 5, 2015, Page B4 |
