Virginia Caroline “Carol” Doyle was born May 27, 1938, in Oxford, Iowa the daughter of Charles and Evelyn (Davis) Doyle. Growing up in Oxford, she attended schools there and later graduated from Oxford High School with the Class of 1956. She then attended Marycrest University before transferring to the State University of Iowa where she finished her degree work in education. On July 12, 1961, she married Roger Dean Hurt at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Oxford. The couple moved to the farm west of Iowa City where they resided for 63 years. Living on the farm she was Roger’s “right hand man” always without hesitation to do anything that was needed. In addition to this she enjoyed her hundreds of students that she taught. Carol began her teaching career in Davenport and one year in Iowa City. She continued for 26 years in the Clear Creek Amana Schools. And of course she was the best mom and grandma to her family. Carol was a hard worker, passionate teacher, the epitome of the farm wife, mother, and grandmother; and always putting others first and the first to help anyone in need!
Her family includes her husband, Roger; their children, Mark Hurt (Becky), Steve Hurt (Karen), Dan Hurt (Marcia) and Marsha Hurt; 8 grandchildren, Amber Hurt, Kyle Hurt, Amy Johnston (Taylor), Joel Hurt (Allie), Courtney Keen (Aidan), Kevin Hurt, Kaitlin McKnight, and Brea McKnight; 3 great-grandchildren, Aiden Miller, Sullivan Johnston, and Silas Johnston; and Carol’s brother, Reverend Thomas Doyle.
She was preceded in death by her parents, and 3 siblings, Jim Doyle, Margaret McGill and Claire Doyle.
