Doris Boyle (nee Chlebowski), 92, of Wayne, passed away peacefully on February 11, 2026, while receiving the loving care of her family. Doris was born on December 9, 1933 in Brooklyn, NY to the late Felix and Mary (Collins) Kline. She was predeceased by her siblings, Catherine White and Daniel Chlebowski. 

Doris was a former parishioner of St. Gerard’s Roman Catholic Church in Paterson, NJ, and St. Thomas Aquinas Roman Catholic Church in Florida. She believed strongly in the power of prayer and was devoted to her daily rosary. 

Doris raised her four children in Paterson, NJ where her husband, Robert (Bob), served as a Lieutenant with the Paterson Police Department. During those years, Doris worked as the office manager for Dr. Sidney Wein in Passaic, NJ. Upon retiring, Doris and Bob moved to a beautiful home in New Port Richey, FL, where they were often visited by family and friends. As time went on, they chose to move closer to home and settled in Whiting, NJ, which was close enough for Doris to frequent her favorite destination, Atlantic City. 

Doris enjoyed many trips with friends and family to AC, where she loved trying her luck on her favorite slot machines. She was incredibly lucky, hitting numerous jackpots throughout the years. Doris loved to dance and was an avid bingo player. More than anything, she treasured time spent with her children and grandchildren. She possessed a dynamic strength and personality, offering unwavering support and love to all who knew her. Her striking blue eyes held a quiet wisdom and warmth, reflecting the heart of the remarkable woman she was.

Doris was predeceased by her beloved husband of over 50 years, Robert V. Boyle; She was a dedicated mother to her four cherished children: the late Denise Mann; Stephen Boyle and his wife, Valerie; Laura Trabona and her husband, Greg Gombash; and Catherine McGinnis. Her pride and joy were her 10 loving grandchildren and 10 adored great-grandchildren. 

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to St Jude Children's Research Hospital.
