I remember Rosemary at St. Francis School and Church and at Notre Dame High. I was in her brother, John’s, class. I extend my sympathy to her family and will remember them in my prayers.
My prayers and thoughts are with all members of the Doyle family during this loss of their beloved sister, aunt, great aunt, and great great aunt. Rosemary will always be remembered by me as a very kind and giving first cousin. When I was a child she took me places and was very supportive. We remained close throughout our lives and worked on family genealogy together. Rosemary was a part of my family since my parents helped her mom raise her young children after their father passed away. All of my siblings were close to the Doyle siblings. I am so glad I was able to spends a few minutes with her during the last few hours of her life. She is now in eternal peace and will forever be remembered for her kindness and giving.
