elevated zZ1tL Frances “Fran” was a very sociable and amiable lady. A kind and caring person. Easy to smile, and loved to laugh, she had a great sense of humour. Enjoyed parties, dancing, bowling, Bingo, and loved playing card games. While raising her four sons, baking was a favourite past time on Sunday afternoons, and later, she enjoyed making her delicious treats for others. Once her children were in school, she took employment fulltime as a switchboard-receptionist for ‘Aetna Life and Casualty’, then ‘Addison on Bay’ and finally retiring at ‘Sharp Electronics’, while still taking care of the household duties of child rearing, shopping, cooking and having a spotlessly clean home! She supported her boys’ sport endeavours, driving them to practices and games and was involved in fund raising for the Warren Park Hockey and High Park Baseball associations. In later years, living at Lampton Square condominiums, she helped organize events for the Social Committee.
elevated zZ1tL There was a time when Fran enjoyed reading and loved the challenge of crossword puzzles. With the onset of Alzheimer’s in her seventies her abilities, and memories, gradually faded. Fortunately, her sweet nature did not disappear!
elevated zZ1tL In lieu of flowers, if not yet done so, a ‘Tribute Gift’ to the Alzheimer Society of Toronto, in honour of Frances, would be appreciated.
elevated zZ1tL Frances Doyle will always be remembered lovingly as a special lady, who will definitely be missed by those who knew her.
We will treasure all our time we had with Fran all 40
Years. She was a beautiful lady
In side and out.
Will miss and love her always.
A kind, caring & loving mother is never forgotten. She will always be in your hearts with some wonderful memories of the happy times you shared. Keep those memories near & dear forever.
Fran has been received by all those who passed before her as they all appreciate who she was and how much they enjoyed her “rock” and loving personality. Extremely accomplished as Mother, Wife and employee Fran touched everyone’s life for the better. A Woman far ahead of her time and a powerful example of strength and dedication. Your lessons continue to evolve as I respect the influence you had on my life. Forever grateful for a lifetime of fond memories. Always in my heart. Loved forever.
Fran was like a mom to me. I fondly remember her attending field trips when we at St James school. The first lunch I had at the Doyle table Fran coached me to dig in quickly for the food would quickly disappear. It did. I think I had a bite or two.
My mom had business dealings with Fran when she was at Addison Cadillac. Very professional.
Four boy’s or five if you count Jimmy was not a challenge for Fran but a love ❤️ of family from my memories.
This also carried over to her sons friends. I fondly remember the Vice Principal at Runnymede asking my pal why he was late for classes. He pointed out the window and said that is my house right there. Fran stood behind her son for the late classes.
God bless you Fran. Heaven has received a kindred spirit.
