Camille P. “Chickie” Boyle of Hingham, formerly of Hull, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family. She was 90.
She was born in Boston to Edith (Mazzoni) and John DeCarli and began her life in the North End before moving to Dorchester as a baby. Her roots in the North End remained strong, and she had fond memories of many visits with her parents to their old neighborhood.
In 1953, Camille married Arthur Boyle and started a family while living in Dorchester. They later lived in Laconia and Manchester before settling in Quincy, where she owned and operated a candy store called Camille’s Sweet Shop in North Quincy.
In her spare time, Camille enjoyed trips to the casino, playing cards with family and friends, shopping, and socializing. Above all else, she loved entertaining, especially when it involved her family. She hosted many family meals and was happiest feeding her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Camille was a kind and caring person with a heart of gold. She had a natural way of connecting with people and making friends wherever she went. Known for her gentle way with babies and her ardent love of animals, Camille was drawn to people, and people were naturally drawn to her. She had a way of making everyone feel welcome and will be remembered for her kindness, big heart, and the many friendships and memories she leaves behind.
She was the devoted mother of the late Peter A. Boyle and his surviving wife, Carolanne, of Winthrop; Arthur P. Boyle and his wife, “Judy 1,” of Hingham; Robert Boyle and his wife, Dale, of Virginia Beach, Virginia; Kathleen Tetreault and her late husband, Mark, of South Weymouth; Richard Boyle and his wife, “Judy 2,” of Weymouth; Michael Boyle and his wife, Colleen, of Wells, Maine; Daniel Boyle and his wife, Lori, of San Diego, California; and Stephen Boyle and his wife, “Judy 3,” of Northborough.
She was the loving sister of John DeCarli of Quincy and was predeceased by 11 siblings. She is also survived by 27 grandchildren, 47 great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild, and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
