Obituary for Helen A. Doyle (Rahm)

Helen A.  Doyle (Rahm)
Helen A. Doyle, 94, a long-time resident of Chelmsford, died peacefully on September 18, 2018. She was the beloved wife of the late James A. Doyle who died in 1981.

Helen was born on February 23, 1924 in Cologne, Germany, the daughter of the late John Andrew Rahm of Munich, Germany and Barbara (Peutz) Rahm of Aachen, Germany.

She came to the United States in 1927 at the age of three arriving and passing through Ellis Island like so many other immigrants. Upon arriving in the United States she spent her early childhood on Long Island, New York and later moved to West Hartford, Connecticut where she attended and graduated from Hall High School.

After graduation, Helen worked as an administrative assistant for many years in the insurance industry in Connecticut. This career path was continued in Massachusetts after the family's relocation to Chelmsford in the early 1960's.

Helen loved family first and foremost, along with her gardening, painting and the arts in general. Companionship was always provided by her four legged friends all of whom she loved dearly. She is survived by her sons, James J. Doyle and his wife Nancy of Hudson, New Hampshire and Attorney Thomas B. Doyle and his wife Joan of Chelmsford, Massachusetts, as well as her grandchildren Andrew W. Doyle and Jeffrey J. Doyle and his wife Janeka. She also leaves her sister-in-law, Mary Pellitier. She was predeceased by her brother, John K. Rahm.

The family wishes to thank the staff at Sunny Acres Nursing Home, Chelmsford, Massachusetts for their compassion, loving care and attention.

At the request of the family there will be no calling hours and services will be private. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in her name to the MSPCA, 350 S Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02130.
