Marion E. Doyle

Marion E. "Baba" Doyle, 73, of Pottsville died Friday at Schuylkill Medical Center-South Jackson St. She was born August 25, 1936 in Pottsville daughter of the late John W. Sr., and Alice Whiteman Kline. She attended Palo Alto and Pottsville Schools and was employed by the former Detroiter Homes and most recently by Rest Haven prior to retiring in 1980. Baba was loved and adored by all who had the pleasure to have known her. She had many wonderful friends and a loving family. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the light in her life and she loved watching them have fun, laugh and play. She was an avid BINGO player throughout her life and enjoyed yelling "BINGO" as often as she could. She enjoyed a good home cooked meal and enjoyed providing them for her family and friends. When she did dine out, she loved a dish of Spaghetti or Baked Shells with a cup of coffee. She loved watching classic television westerns and game shows and could spend hours playing along from her recliner in the living room. Baba will surely be missed her surviving family and friends as she is eternally at peace with her loved ones in God's Kingdom.
