Patricia Doyle

Patricia “Pat” (nee Duffy) Doyle passed away peacefully in Cypress, Texas on Saturday, the 20th of January 2024. She was 97. Patricia was born in New York City on November 18, 1926 to John Duffy and Anne Beauvais Duffy. Her family lived on the upper east side of Manhattan. She attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart and graduated from Manhattanville College in 1949. She married Alan F. Doyle in 1959 and lived in Newport News, Virginia. In 1962, Pat and Alan moved to Houston when Alan accepted a job at NASA. They ended up settling in Nassau Bay to raise their four sons, Walter (Kelly), Frank (Allison), Peter, and Michael (Jayne). In 1985, Pat became a business partner in Robinette & Doyle Caterers with her good friend, Brenda Robinette. Pat was an active member of her community, serving on Nassau Bay City Council for 10 years and volunteering at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston for nearly 20 years. She was an active member and volunteer at St. Paul the Apostle church while living in Nassau Bay. She was a faithful member of St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church for over 20 years after her move to Houston and, most recently, of Christ the Redeemer in Cypress. Her big interests were family, friends, travel, reading, cooking, knitting, crosswords, and learning. She was a devoted wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and aunt. She cherished her family above all else and would do anything for them. Pat is preceded in death by her husband, Alan Doyle, her sister Suzanne and brother Jack. She is survived by her sons and their loving wives, her 13 wonderful grandchildren and multiple great grandchildren. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews whom she loved as her own children.
