Michelle Doyle

It is with profound sadness that the family of Michelle Lee Doyle announce her passing on Tuesday October 6th 2020. She passed at the age of 51 at home surrounded by her loved ones.

She was born September 14th, 1969 in Batavia New York to Jacque Antinore and Denise Hyde. She was also raised by her step-parents Vernon Dale Salway and Emily Antinore. At a young age her family moved to Coffeyville, Kansas.

Michelle is a follower of the LORD Jesus Christ and was baptized together with Mike Doyle and her sister Tammy Splechter, her niece Savannah Splechter and brother-in-law Steven Splechter on June 28th 2015 in Siloam Springs Arkansas, it was a joyous occasion witnessed by her son Travis and church family.

She was happily married to the love of her life Mike Doyle on April 29th 2017 and they resided at Havana Lake KS, they had a beautiful relationship full of great adventures together with lots of laughter and they were examples of what caring for each other looks like, Mike has been an absolute blessing to this family in the love and care he gave to Michelle.

Michelle and Mike enjoyed boat rides in the evening, watching beautiful Kansas sunsets, and family gatherings. She particularly enjoyed her birthday month, every single day of it. Her sons DJ, Joey, and Travis had the opportunity of becoming her personal chefs during the last few months which she very much enjoyed as did all the family who came to visit.

She absolutely loved flowers and her favorite was sunflowers. Her whole life she always had pets, she loved animals and her fur babies, Sweet Allie Bell her cat, Anna, Elsa and Cici her chihuahuas.

Michelle is survived by her beloved husband Michael Doyle of Havana Lake KS, DJ Splechter of Nashville TN, Joey Splechter of Havana Lake KS, Travis Splechter and wife Rachelle of Surprise AZ, her father, Jacque Antinore of Holley NY, her mother Denise Hyde of Caney KS, brother Jack Antinore of Hixson TN, Tammy Splechter of Colorado Springs CO, and Steven Salway of Bartlesville OK, and many favorite cousins, aunts and uncles and in-laws, nieces and nephews.

Michelle was a beloved wife and mother and joy to all who knew her, always a bright light to the world. Her life was a living example of child-like faith, of which Jesus spoke,

“Learn this well: Unless you dramatically change your way of thinking and become teachable, and learn about heaven’s kingdom realm with the wide-eyed wonder of a child, you will never be able to enter in.  Whoever continually humbles himself to become like this gentle child is the greatest one in heaven’s kingdom realm.  And if you tenderly care for this little one on my behalf, you are tenderly caring for me (Matt. 18:3-5 TPT).

She took time to notice the beauty in everything and everyone. Always putting the needs of others before her own, the most selfless person you would ever meet, she had a gift to brighten up anyone’s day.

She is dearly missed by all that were blessed to know her.

Please join us in celebrating her life at Potts Chapel in Independence KS for a viewing, Monday the 12th of October 5:00-7:00 PM, the service will be Tuesday the 13th of October at 11:00am at Potts Chapel.
