Dorothy V. Doyle

Dorothy V. Doyle, a cherished resident of Washington Township for 37 years, passed away peacefully on October 30, 2024, surrounded by her loved ones. Born on June 7, 1953, to Dorothy V. and Matthew J. McCormack on Staten Island, New York, Dorothy was a sensitive and insightful soul, deeply empathetic, and found joy in uplifting those around her. She is survived by her devoted husband of 39 years, Richard Doyle; her son, Kevin; her sister, Mary Anne Tempone; and brothers-in-law Donald J. Tempone, James B. Doyle, and William Doyle. She is also survived by her sisters-in-law Maryellen Doyle, Donna Doyle, Rosemarie McCormack, and Lourdes Klingensmith, along with many nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews, including Donald John Tempone, Cynthia Glover, Mary Tempone, Matthew McCormack, Keith McCormack, David McCormack, and Dorothy Reese, and three great-grandnieces and three great-grandnephews. Dorothy was predeceased by her beloved son, Christopher Doyle, in 1992, her brothers Matthew J. and Blaise McCormack, and her niece Genevieve Lambiase.

Dorothy’s life was filled with laughter. She had a quick wit and a keen sense of humor, always ready with a sarcastic remark that would make anyone laugh, even during life’s toughest moments. She loved a good story, sharing funny anecdotes that brightened the lives of everyone around her. A lover of life, Dorothy knew when to put on her dancing shoes—and sometimes when to kick them off, embracing the moment with her whole heart. Her generosity of spirit was unmatched; she dedicated her life to family and friends. Dorothy had a profound empathy, wanting deeply to love and be loved, and she gave of herself in ways that left lasting impressions.

Dorothy built a successful career in Investment Banking, starting at J. Aron and Company, where she also met the love of her life, Richard. She continued in the industry for many years before dedicating herself to raising her family. A devoted member of St. John the Baptist Church in Hillsdale, New Jersey, for over three decades, her faith and community were sources of strength. She found peace and joy on Long Beach Island, where family vacations filled her heart with laughter, love, and countless cherished memories.

The family will receive friends on November 6 from 9:00 to 10:30 at Becker Funeral Home, 219 Kinderkamack Road, Westwood. A Mass celebrating Dorothy’s life and faith will follow at 11:00 at St. John the Baptist in Hillsdale, New Jersey.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, in honor of Dorothy’s loving spirit.
