Coyle received a B.A. in History from Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, Indiana, and was awarded a J.D. from Rutgers School of Law - Camden. Coyle is married to Dr. Dennis Coyle and has two daughters, Kathryn and Kara.

Coyle did not run for re-election in 2011. While she initially declared to run, she withdrew during the week of April 16, 2011.

While she at first intended to do such, she later decided that it would not be possible. She was succeeded by Jack Ciattarelli.
