Margaret M. Boyle

After 84 wonderful years of life, Margaret Boyle, of Cranford, NJ, passed away on March 7, 2026, surrounded by family at Overlook Hospital in Summit, NJ.

Margaret was born April 6, 1941, to Grace Love and Archibald Miller. She grew up in Jersey City, NJ, where she graduated from high school and developed a close and special bond with her sister, Mary Miller. Margaret married William Boyle in October of 1964, and they had three children together. They raised their family in Maspeth, NY, and then settled into their home in Cranford, NJ.

In Margaret’s remarkable life she was known for her kindness, humor and generosity. She was a homemaker with an overwhelming dedication and love for her family. She enjoyed traveling, reading, gardening, spending her summers by the water in Ocean Gate, getting together with friends for vacations, Twine, her time at the Cranford Senior Club, Mahjong, or just good conversation was always a wonderful time for her. Most of all, Margaret’s legacy is her unconditional love for her family, whom she raised in the most loving way she knew how. Seeing her grandchildren grow into happy adults always made her proud of a job well done.

She is survived by her children Grace Williams, William Boyle and Matthew Boyle; her grandchildren, Michael Williams, Jennifer Williams and Will Boyle; son-in-law, Gareth Williams; daughter-in-law, Joyce Tkach Boyle; granddaughter-in-law; Jessica D’Auria Williams; and future grandson-in-law, Joseph Camilleri.
