Obituary For Mary Catherine Doyle

Madison-

Mary C. Doyle, age 65, passed away surrounded by her family on Friday, June 9, 2023 at St. Mary’s Hospital. She was born on June 18, 1957, in Madison, the daughter of James E. and Bonita (Meier) Doyle. Mary worked for 41 years at St. Mary’s Hospital, until her retirement in 2020. Her work family meant so much to her. Mary’s friends and family can still hear, “Material and Supply Services, Mary speaking.”

Mary loved knitting, sewing, cooking, and watching cooking shows. She also enjoyed shopping for jewelry and clothes and having a cold Pepsi. Most of all she loved spending time with her grandchildren. Mary was known for her fantastic sense of humor and for her happy spirit.

    I want send my sympathies to Mary's family for their loss. I worked with Mary in Material Services for over 35 years. It was amazing to see her hard work from day to day. We went through so many changes during this time frame. It was always nice to talk to her about grandchildren.

    My deepest sympathy to Mary's family. Mary was a dear friend of mine since middle school. We had so many great times together as we grew up. And after. She will always be in my heart. And I will miss her. ❤️

    My deepest sympathy to Mary's family. Mary & I started working at St. Mary's around the same time. In the early years, we shared a fun-filled trip to Florida, played softball together, & had many after-work get-togethers with friends. She always had a positive & fun attitude; everyone at St. Mary's enjoyed working with her, & she will be greatly missed. May she rest in peace.

    As many on this page, I too worked with Mary at St. Mary's for a good portion of her years of service. Your mom was ALWAYS kind, like to have fun as well as a contagious laugh. In our earlier years, after work and before she had children, we hung out at several fine Madison establishments ie the Treehouse! She was proud of her girls and grandchildren. My sympathy.

    Mary will be so missed! She was the first person to help me after I started at St. Mary's years ago. I saw her every day and she was family to all of us who worked with her. Her laugh was contagious, and smile was long and wide! I have fond memories of her and her girls and Kyler visiting her at work, and giving us all something to smile about! I hope Mary's gentle soul rest is at peace now, and no more health issues in heaven. You will be missed. -Steph Beske

    My thoughts are with all of Mary's family at this difficult time. I will always remember Mary as pretty much running her department at St Mary's and always greeted everyone with a smile.

    My deepest sympathy to Mary's family. I bowled with her for several years, in the 1980's. She also was a member of a ladies card club I was a part of, also in the 1980's. Nothing but fun, fun memories of all the times Mary was a part of with me. She was such a funny lady, loved her children dearly from the time they were born. My thoughts and prayers to her family. Rest in peace, Mary.

what our families say

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

James S. | July 2020

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Lynda R. | July 2020

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Michael M. | July 2020

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
