Doris’s life will be celebrated in a Mass of Christian Burial Friday June 29th at 10:30 AM at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Wayne where Doris has been a longtime communicant.
Doris Mae Abbott, of Wayne, New Jersey passed into the Lord’s hands Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at St. Joseph’s Hospital while surrounded by her loving family.
Born in 1931, one of Loretta and Edward Coyle’s three children, Doris was raised and educated in Elmwood Park, NJ. Doris married the love of her life in 1950, Herbert John Abbott. She and Herb met while working at White and Shauger. It was love at first sight for Herb and being a man who followed his heart’s desire he wooed and pursued Doris in a marriage that spanned 61 years of devoted love and she remained his “one and only”.
Doris and her sister Jeanne would shop for houses in the early months of their marriage, placing the requisite $5.00 deposit with a builder while their husbands were at work. This went on until finally settling on two lovely little capes on Court Street not far from the family homestead. There they raised their children as one big extended family. In 1969 the family moved to Wayne, officially establishing “Coyle Court” where four homes went up for the families of Doris, her parents, sister and brother! For Doris it was always about family, and that never changed.
Doris enjoyed her family and making their home beautiful and comfortable for all who passed through her door. She was happiest when surrounded by family and friends and especially looked forward to visits from her children and grandchildren. She was known for her excellent culinary skills and ability to make all feel like her home was their home. She was always ready to welcome and entertain all who arrived and equally ready to walk out the door at a moment’s notice for an adventure.
She and Herb were of one heart. They enjoyed travel, dining and dancing. They laughed together on a daily basis, keeping a faithful following of the British sitcoms and of late, tuning in to “Dancing with the Stars”. Herb was always at Doris’s side and once again she has joined him. Doris and Herb shared an abiding faith in the Lord and are joined together again in God’s eternal embrace.
Doris is predeceased by Herb, her beloved husband and daughter Lauren Abbott. She is survived by her cherished children Dr. Herbert R. Abbott and his wife Stella Lombardo of Slingerlands, NY, Wendy Johnson of Wayne, NJ, Donna Abbott of Lincoln Park, NJ and Karen Joyce and her husband Tom of Auburn, NH, and grandchildren Christopher, Shannon, Dana, Nicholas, Emily, Michele, Melanie and Rebecca. She is also survived by Jeanne Wache, Edward Ryan and Sandy Coyle, Josephine Abbott, Lucy Abbott and their families. Doris will be dearly missed by all whose hearts she touched.
