Remembering Sister Ellen Doyle

The Chatfield Edge remembers Sr. Ellen Doyle, OSU, who passed away peacefully on July 18 at the age of 76. Sr. Ellen served as the second president of the former Chatfield College, a position she held for 11 years. In a recent interview for an upcoming Ursuline Legacy video, Sr. Ellen said,  “I chose the Ursulines because each of them gave the impression of being one unique person. They did not walk alike, talk alike, or think alike.  I really felt that the unique quality of each sister who expressed her vocation in her own unique way made me feel that I would have a place in this community as well.”

When asked what she treasured most about being an Ursuline Sister, she did not hesitate. “My greatest joy is being connected with people whose lives I’ve touched during all the years I’ve been in the community. I look forward to those stories. I look forward to seeing how their lives are unfolding.”

A Memorial Mass and a subsequent reception will be held at St Columban Church, 894 Oakland Road, Loveland, OH on Monday, July 28, 2025, at 10:30 am. The Mass will be recorded and posted by 12:00 pm that day on the Weekly Mass Recordings tab on the church’s website: http://www.stcolumban.org/.  The burial will take place in the Ursulines of Brown County Cemetery in St. Martin, OH at 2:00 pm, the same day.
