• Notes

  BOYLE, Luella - On December 23, 2006, at the age of 101. Lue was born on May 22, 1905, in Waterloo Township to Sarah Heckendorn and Allan Groff and raised by Gilda Groff, Allan Groff's second wife. She was sister to Doris Adye-White (Mississauga), Ruth Doepel (deceased), Ken Groff (Vancouver), Norman Groff (deceased), and Frank Groff (deceased). Although she and her late husband Harry Boyle loved to travel, they made their home in Kitchener on Van Camp Ave. Harry died in 1981 after a long life. Harry had spent his working life at Goodrich and had served with the South Waterloo Overseas 111th Battalion of the Western Ontario Regiment of the Canadian Expeditionary Force and was wounded at Passchendaele. Lue had been a member of the Highland Baptist Church and St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church as well as a member of the Tommy Atkins Chapter I.O.D.E. She loved golf and played many rounds at the Grand River Golf Club in Bridgeport. Bridge was another of her passions and although they had no children, there was always a dog in the family. During her lifetime she did a considerable amount of volunteer work. Cremation has taken place. Expressions of sympathy may be shown by donations to a charity of one's choice.
