Cecilia “Dolly” Boyle, 89, of Newbury Park passed away peacefully at home March 10, 2017, with family by her side.

          Dolly was born in Brooklyn, NY, on October 2, 1927, and raised by her Irish parents (Mary and Michael Lacey) in the Park Slope area of Brooklyn, along with siblings, Frank, Sis (Mary), Jack, Edward, Eileen, Joan and Pat.

          She met her future husband Johnny, at age 10.  They were playmates from the same neighborhood.  Dolly married Johnny on November 17, 1946.  They moved to Long Island in 1965 along with their six children.  Upon retirement in 1986, Dolly and Johnny relocated to Daytona Beach, FL.  They enjoyed over 10 years of retirement there, going on cruises and casino trips to Biloxi, bowling and playing cards.  Dolly loved watching Jeopardy and all sports on TV, doing crossword puzzles, playing pool, and horseshoes.

          In 1997, they relocated to Newbury Park, where two of their sons still reside.  They took trips to Laughlin, Las Vegas, and the Chumash Casino.  Dolly loved having her hot tea throughout the day, starting off her day with oatmeal for breakfast, ham and tomato sandwich for lunch, and chocolate cake always!
