Blauvelt, NY - Tappan Location

Dolores Marie Doyle, 92, of Blauvelt, NY, passed away at Good Samaritan Hospital on February 5, 2022.

Born February 10, 1929 in NYC to parents Richard and Lillian Leahy, Dolores attended St. Cecilia's Elementary School and graduated from Cathedral High School. She received a BA in Education from Hunter College in 1953.

Dolores's Catholic faith was the foundation from which all good things came. She met her future husband Timothy J. Doyle at a parish dance. They married in 1951 and moved to Blauvelt in 1956, where she became a wonderful mother to seven children.

Dolores taught 5th and 6th grade for many years at Sacred Heart School in Suffern and as a substitute teacher in the South Orangetown Central School District. She sang in the St. Catharine's choir and volunteered at the polls during election. She also worked at the Blauvelt Library for years where she enjoyed reading to "her little ones" at reading hour.

Dolores is predeceased by her husband, Timothy, sister, Frances, and son-in-law, Dennis.

Dolores is survived by her seven children: Diane, Jane (Rick), Patricia (Bob), Sheila (Mark), Timothy (Eileen), Gerard (Majka), Peter (Krista), 14 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren (with one on the way).

Visiting hours will be held Friday from 4-8pm at Moritz Funeral Home in Tappan. A Funeral Mass will be held Saturday, 10am at St. Catharine's Church in Blauvelt.
