Wanda June (Gardner) Doyle

Wanda June (Gardner) Doyle, was born June 16, 1930, in Northwood to Andrew and Ruby Gardner. She died Saturday, Sept. 15, 2018.

Wanda loved music and was blessed with an amazing singing voice, which she gladly shared with others. Her ability was discovered in her youth. Wanda sang throughout her life. She had many passions — music, her family, entertaining and playing bridge.

She attended Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. She was a Messiah soloist and was chosen to be in the Nordic Choir — a highly regarded choir reserved for select voices. She also had private singing lessons.

Wanda married James Doyle and raised three children: Chrystine, J. Mart and Kathleen. All three children survive her, along with one grandson, Erin. She is also survived by sister-in-laws Ruth Sanders, Mary Schmid and Mary Beth Doyle, and numerous nephews and nieces.

A service was performed at Thorne Crest Senior Living Community.

Memorials are preferred to Shriners Hospital.

Cards can be mailed to Chrys Doyle, 3060 Upper Black Road, Cool, CA 95614.
