The Funeral will leave her home on Friday morning at 10.30am to The Church of The Holy Family, Ardara, for 11am Requiem Mass with burial afterwards in the adjoining cemetery.
Originally from Barnesmore, Donegal Town and a Four Masters club stalwart, Ms Boyle had been living in Kentucky, Ardara with her husband Brendan and children Eoghan and Aoibhin.
She was much loved and highly regarded in both communities, and in Frosses where she taught in the national school.
Her death after a long illness bravely borne has left a cloud of sadness across Donegal.
