Doyle was born in Old Hickory, TN and was a proud graduate of Dupont High School and Peabody College for Teachers. He taught for nearly 30 years at Awtrey Middle School in Kennesaw, GA and brought joy, creativity and humor to students and teachers as the Media Specialist. Doyle's love of antiquing and ballroom dancing was shared with his wife and passed on to several family members.
Doyle is survived by his wife, Bobbie (Elvie) Bethel; daughters Charlene Maguire (Michael), Jana Climer, and Angie Bethel (Jeremy Bell); six grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren and sister Brenda Duke.

Rest in peace, Papa. You will be remembered for your wit, your grace, and your boundless love.
