MELROSE—Hayley Walters-Doyle passed away peacefully on March 11, 2021, surrounded by her loving family, at the age of 22.

Hayley was the beloved daughter of Mark Doyle and Beth Walters of Melrose and the cherished sister to her brothers, Seamus Walters-Hughes and Aidan Walters-Doyle. Hayley was dearly loved by many aunts, uncles, cousins and her grandparents, who all knew how special she was. She was an incredible and devoted friend to many.

From the moment Hayley was born, it was evident that she was unique. Her tremendous energy, passion, creativity and vigor was infectious. Her internal and external beauty was dazzling. She was an incredible artist who worked in various mediums and was especially skilled in pop art. After graduating from Melrose High School, she took her many artistic talents and applied them as a hair stylist in Boston. Hayley was also a poet and a lover of hip-hop music, animals, nature and the sea. She was a fierce advocate for many social justice issues.

A celebration of Hayley’s remarkable life will occur at a later date when everyone can hug and bask in the love and remembrance of Hayley.

In lieu of flowers donations in Hayley’s name can be made to MSPCA-Nevins Farm.
