Loretto Hyde-Doyle passed away peacefully with her family by her side in St. Josephs’ hospital in Toronto on October 13th, 2022.

Loretto, Loll as she was known by her dear friends, was born in County Cork, Ireland, in 1943 and came to Canada in 1967. She was a beloved Librarian and educator in both Wabush, Labrador, and St. John’s, Newfoundland.  She was known for her independent spirit, quick wit, and love of the Irish community in Newfoundland.

Loretto is survived by her sister Mona after losing her beloved sisters Alice and Mary in recent years and her father, Charles and mother, Mary many years before.  Left with many happy and loving memories are her daughters, Ceara and Damhnait, her son Garrett, their father Clar; loving grandchildren Devlin, Finlay, Jared, Clara, Lilly, and Ceitidh; along with many more family members and dear friends in Canada, UK, and Ireland.

The family would like to thank everyone who helped care for Loretto in recent years in both St John’s and Toronto.

A memorial service will take place at Carnell’s Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road, St. John’s, NL  A1B 3P2 at 2pm December 4th.  A live stream will be available on the website for family and friends unable to attend.

Dav and family,
Wishing you much peace and comfort in all the beautiful memories you have of your Mom.
With love xox

Deepest sympathy to the family on your mother’s passing. I worked with her at St. Paul’s School.. She was a wonderful caring teacher and friend.

So very sorry to hear of Loretto’s passing. She was a wonderful person, a kind friend, and an excellent teacher. She was indeed one of the first teachers in NL to take on the concept of “Resource Based Teaching” in her school and she excelled in that approach, winning the love of her students, as well as earning personal professional recognition for her early adoption of the innovative approach . She was a genuine Irish gift to the students and staff of St. Paul’s .Elementary School in St.. John’s. Her legacy will live on in the joy of her students’ love of books, reading,. and research.

Damhnait, Caera and Garrett,

So sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. She was such a lovely person and we certainly missed her when she moved. Our thoughts and prayers and with you all.

Dav and family,
As you know, your mom meant so so much to me. I am beyond grateful for the years of friendship. We had so many great laughs. She had such a kind and giving nature. I learned so many lessons through her stories and experiences, and she always encouraged me to persevere and reminded me of what was really important in life. I owe a lot to your mom’s kindness; I wouldn’t be where I am today without having her in my life. So thank you, Dav, for introducing us and giving me the chance to know such a strong & special woman.
Love to you all. xoxo
