Betty

Doyle

Jewel Betty John (Covington) Doyle, 91, passed away on March 4, 2023.  The daughter of Joseph John and Effie (Williams) Covington, Betty was born on December 5, 1931, in Wise County, Texas.

Betty grew up in Texas.  She married Orville Allen "OA" Doyle on November 24, 1950. They were blessed with two daughters, Bridget and Toni. They lived in Texas, then moved to Dibble for about five years, then back to Texas, then one more final move to Blanchard about twenty five years ago.  Their love for their family kept bringing them back.  Betty worked for many years for Bell Helicopter as a mail clerk.  She was a member of the Blanchard Church of Christ where her church family was very important to Betty.  Betty loved to play Bridge with her Bridge Club.  She also enjoyed Wahoo and Skipbo and was quite competitive. In her younger years, Betty was very athletic and excelled in volleyball.  She also was quite a dirt bike rider.  She enjoyed gardening and her pet duck, Waddles. (Yes, you read that right.) But most of all, Betty adored her family and especially the grandchildren.  She and OA were sure to attend all of their activities.  She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Betty was preceded in death by her parents; her husband OA Doyle; two sisters; two brothers; and one son-in-law, Chris Butler.

Betty is survived by her two daughters, Bridget Butler and Toni Welchel and husband Roy Dean, all of Blanchard; grandchildren, Chay Sowers and husband Chuck, Crissy McAnally and husband Steve, Chad Doyle and wife Dustie, Angie Musick and husband Paul, and Kristy Garvey and husband Matt; great grandchildren, Austin, Jamey, Camden, Maverick, Averi, Lainey Jewel, and Dean; brother, Rodney Covington of Ft. Worth; and other family members, friends and church family.
