Loving wife of the late Andrew M. Doyle II died peacefully after a short illness.

Helen was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, daughter of Esther Sterling and Edward Carlin in 1927. Her mom died two years later caring for her children when they had rheumatic fever. Relatives helped raise her and she completed a BSN at Duquesne University, specializing in pediatric medicine. After marrying in 1952, she came to St. Louis in 1957 as her husband came to the faculty of St. Louis University. Here she raised four children and supported countless children as a nurse at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. She supported her children in their school years and later, as a nurse, countless other children at Cardinal Glennon Hospital.
Helen was an RN, BSN and retired as night supervisor from Cardinal Glennon Hospital. She was a dedicated parishioner and choir member at St. Rafael Church. Her faith was strong and guided her life of kindness and volunteerism, including years of work with her beloved dogs for APA. Helen was always willing to lend a helping hand and give of herself wherever she could.
In her last years, she found faith at St. Agnes Home in her everyday devotion to God.
