Doyle, Barbara Anne, 54, of Winter Springs, FL, peacefully passed on to heaven to spend eternity with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on March 2, 2018. Family and friends were with Barb continually and especially the final weeks of her 19 month battle with liver cancer. She was a godly woman, a passionate Christ follower, a loving wife, a wonderful mother, a committed daughter and sister and an encouraging friend to so many.

She married Brian in 1987 and they lived in West Hartford, CT until 2011 when they moved to Winter Springs. She home educated her five children and was actively engaged in ministry with her husband, family, friends and local church. A memorial service and celebration of Barb’s life will be held on Saturday, March 10 at 11:00 AM at Northland Church in Longwood, FL.

There are no words that can adequately address the loss of a loved one, especially someone as caring, kind, and loving as Barbara. The impact she had on family, friends, and the Navigator ministry will be part of her legacy of following Christ as a godly woman for years to come. May we all learn and appreciate what it means to be a living sacrifice from her life to ours. She is home now as will those, in time, that have chosen to believe and receive Him, Jesus, into their hearts. God bless you Barbara Anne Doyle, may you rest In peace.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” Corinthians 1:3–4
