Maria A. Doyle (Germer) age 77 of Hoboken passed peacefully on Thursday, May 15, 2014. She was born in Germany and came to the United States at the age of eight.
The family settled in Hoboken and Maria’s parents, Annalisa and Wilhelm Germer, began working at a local tavern. In a few years the bought the tavern, located at 55 First Street in Hoboken, and named it Annalisa’s. Maria grew up helping at the tavern and as she grew older her responsibilities increased from cleaning to tapping kegs and placing orders. Eventually she bought out the tavern and the family opened a second one on 505 Eight Street in Hoboken. Maria was a hard worker and eventually decided to attend beauty school. She graduated and worked for Emily’s Beauty Parlor in Hackensack and later Cliffside Park while still owning the taverns. She worked for over fifty years before retiring in 2000.
As a young girl it was said Maria had Ann-Margaret looks. She was a model for several years with her photograph being published in several magazines. She loved to sing, was a loving, caring, kind, and generous person who many characterized as “the best.”
Maria met a cute bartender named William Doyle at Peggy’s Tavern in Hoboken. “Billy” as he was known said it only took a couple of drinks to sweep Maria off her feet. The young couple fell in love and married on May 6, 1962 in St Frances Church at the corner of fourth and Hudson Street in Hoboken. They had their reception at the Union Club in Hoboken but never had enough money to go on a honeymoon. Maria and Billy had a wonderful and loving marriage of thirty-five years before his passing in 1997.
Maria was the loving mother of Kevin Doyle of West Milford; cherished grandmother of Liana Doyle; dear sister of Gary Germer of Franklin and the late William Germer (2011); Wonderful Mother in Law of Diana Doyle, and loved aunt of Judy, Linda, and Debbie.
