Obituary

Madeline Claire "Maddy" O'Boyle Toogood, OFS, 85, of Butler, passed away Thursday, June 26, 2025, in Butler Memorial Hospital surrounded by family.

Born Nov. 8, 1939, in Pittsburgh, she was the daughter of the late Bernard Valentine O'Boyle and Wilhelmina E. Evans O'Boyle Enders.

Madeline was a homemaker and a loving wife and mother who was always eager to help with projects around the house and in the garden. She belonged to the GFWC Junior Women's Club of Butler and formerly served as its treasurer. She enjoyed crafting, sewing, needlepoint and cooking, but, above all, she loved her family and the Word of God.

She was a faithful member of All Saints Parish, St. Paul Roman Catholic Church. She was also a professed Secular Franciscan for over 30 years in the Mary, Queen of Franciscans fraternity in Herman, Pa.

Madeline is survived by her loving husband, R. James Toogood, OFS, whom she married May 16, 1959; four children, Jay Toogood, of Vero Beach, Fla., Christopher Toogood, of Butler, Megan Willison and her husband, Ron, of Butler, and Matthew Toogood, of Las Vegas, Nev.; one brother, B. Paul O'Boyle and his wife, Jackie, of McMurray,  Pa.; one stepsister, Mary Lou Winkler, of Fairfax, Va.; and one stepsister-in-law, Mary Ann Enders, of Cranberry Twp., Pa.

She is also survived by seven grandchildren, Jason (Ashley) Toogood, Nicole (husband Eric Peterson) Toogood, Anthony (Erica) Willison, Katie (Eric) Wilson, Marissa (husband Logan Wolfe) Toogood, Andrew (fiancée Kylie Wright) Willison, and Christen (husband Matthew Zorc) Toogood; 16 great-grandchildren with another due in September; and one great-great grandson.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by two stepbrothers, Robert Enders and Paul "Bink" Enders and his wife, Charlotte.
