Ruth E. Boyle (nee Eagle) age 80 of Wayne died Friday, August 15, 2008 at the Saint Joseph’s Wayne Hospital in Wayne. Her passing was quite sudden and unexpected.
She was born in Lakewood, NJ, lived her formative years in Toms River, NJ and later lived in New York City and Rutherford, NJ before moving to Wayne fifty years ago.
Ruth received her formal education at the Toms River (NJ) Grammar School and at Toms River High School graduating with the Class of 1945. She then studied at Illinois Wesleyan University and later transferred to the Columbia University School of Nursing in New York City graduating with the Class of 1950 with a Registered Nurse's Degree. She was an exceptionally bright student and admired for her academic and practical abilities.
Shortly after her graduation, she was named a Head Nurse at Harkness Pavilion which is a part of Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center where she treated many celebrities and famous New York citizens.
She met James T. Boyle and married in 1954 and had 54 years of “dedicated and loving” marriage together. When the time came to raise a family she decided to become a full time mother and took a leave of absence from her nursing career.
Jim and Ruth had three sons together and being a Wife and Mother was the most important thing for her. She loved her family with all of her heart and raised her children with the spirit of a perfect mother. As her three boys reached maturity she decided to re-pursue her nursing career and took a position as a Registered Nurse at the Mountinside Hospital in Montclair where she in the In-Service department.
Ruth had a very special gift of personable caring built into her personality and had found the perfect job for her life as a Registered Nurse. In fact she enjoyed nursing so much it was not a job to her but rather a loving dedication to help others. Her personality was genuinely selfless, humble, upbeat and always reaching out to help others around her with their problems, being a great listener and putting the needs of others first.
Ruth’s family recalls that she had a wonderful life.
She was an active member of the Packanack Community Church in the Packanack Lake area of Wayne.
Over the years she was very active at the Packanack Lake Tennis Club and enjoyed swimming at the Montclair YMCA, in synchronized swimming with the "Ripples" of Packanack and singing with the Harmony Singers of Wayne.
Surviving are her loving husband James T. Boyle Jr.; three sons James T. Boyle III and his wife Bridget of Marlton, NJ, Kenneth C. Boyle and his wife Pilar of New Providence, NJ and Rick Boyle and Cheryl of Cranford; six grandchildren James T. IV, Elizabeth Ann, John, Allison, Kenneth C. II and Alexa Boyle.
