Margaret Boyle

Margaret Boyle, a beloved matriarch and cherished friend, passed away peacefully on March 21, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. Born on March 30, 1934, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Frances and Mary Wingert, Margaret's life was a testament to love, faith, and unwavering dedication to family and community. Margaret was a beacon of warmth and kindness, whose life was underpinned by her strong faith. A devoted follower of Christ, she spent her days serving others with a servant’s heart, embodying the principles of love and compassion she held dear. As an active member and volunteer of her local Roman Catholic Church, Margaret attended Mass regularly and engaged deeply in parish activities. Her dedication to her faith and her community was an inspiration to all who knew her. In 1952, Margaret graduated from Saint Mary’s of the Assumption in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Shortly thereafter, she met and married the love of her life, Donald Boyle. Together, they shared 69 wonderful years of marriage, raising six children and building a home filled with laughter and love. Her beloved husband, Donald Boyle, and her son, Donald Boyle Jr., predeceased her, leaving behind cherished memories of a family life rich with joy. Margaret's legacy lives on through her five surviving children: Richard (and his wife, Margaret), Timothy (and his wife, Sally), John, Matthew (and his wife, Jena), and Ellen Cooper. She was the proud grandmother to ten grandchildren—Kelly, Stacey, Maggie, Katie, T. Sean, Tyler, Torey, Lyndsey, Joseph, and Gavin—and the doting great-grandmother to five great-grandchildren, whose lives she touched deeply with her wisdom and warmth. Family was at the core of Margaret’s existence. She delighted in playing board and card games with her children and grandchildren, always bringing a smile and a joke to lighten the mood. The laughter shared during these cherished family moments will forever echo in the hearts of those she leaves behind. Margaret's life was a testament to the power of love and devotion. Her gentle spirit and generous heart left an indelible mark on everyone she met. As we remember her life, we are reminded of the grace and love she carried with her, and we celebrate the incredible legacy she leaves behind. The family will hold a service in her honor at her beloved church, where Margaret will be remembered for her devotion to her faith, her family, and her community. As we gather to say goodbye, we take comfort in knowing that her spirit continues to live on through the lives she touched and the love she so generously shared. Margaret Boyle’s memory will forever be cherished, and her life celebrated, by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
