Doyle, the son of Harry and Harriet (Vande Kamp) Van De Krol, was born March 14, 1927, in Sully. He grew up on a farm near Lynnville and attended country school. He worked on the farm until he joined the Navy at 17 years of age. He was married to Bertha Heemsbergen in Grinnell, Iowa on February 25, 1947. They were married 61 years and lived most of their life in Sully, where Harriet was Postmaster. Doyle worked for Verwers Well Company, and became owner after Everett Verwer’s death in 1955. After retirement, Doyle enjoyed working in the garden and growing flowers. He and Bertha enjoyed wintering in Arizona until her health declined. Doyle moved from Sully to Pella in 2011, and in March of 2015 moved to the Montezuma Nursing Center.

Those left to honor Doyle’s memory include his two daughters, Shirley Van De Krol of Lewisville, Texas and Gayle Van De Krol of Sully; and his brother, Robert (Wanda) Van De Krol of Searsboro.
