Amesbury - Katherine L. Doyle (Pietrini), 91, of Beverly, passed away peacefully at home on February 26, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

Born January 9, 1935, in Beverly, she was the daughter of the late Francesco and Beatrice (Paluzzi) Pietrini and the beloved wife of the late Harold "Harry" E. Doyle Jr.

Her greatest joy was her family. She was a devoted mother to Patricia A. Doyle (John Stone) of Manchester, NH; Susan M. Doyle of Amesbury; and Cynthia A. Thayer (Scott E. Thayer) of Reading. She was a proud grandmother to Olivia Hilton (Samantha Martinez), Harrison Cwik (Francesca Cwik), and Andrew Hilton (Nikki Bida), and was predeceased by her cherished grandson, Zachary Doyle Hilton.

Known lovingly as "Nonnie," she welcomed all with warmth and never missed a celebration. She shared special bonds with her many Pietrini nieces and nephews and remained close to the Doyle family, especially her sister-in-law Nancy and niece Lauren Puia. She treasured lifelong friendships, especially with Elsie Vasapoli and warmly embraced the Thayer family as her own.

Katherine worked for many years at Friendly's and later as an office assistant. She loved cooking and hosting holidays, playing bingo and cards, beach days, and Martha's Vineyard vacations.

In addition to her husband and grandson, she was predeceased by her siblings Joseph Pietrini (Rose), John Pietrini (Shirley), Margaret Miedzionoski (Walter), Anthony Pietrini (Ann), and William Pietrini (Sally), and by her nephews Michael Miedzionoski and Douglas Corrigan. She is survived by her brother Frank Pietrini (Tobey).

Her legacy of love and devotion will live on in all who knew her.
