Margaret Helen Butler, age 79, of Middletown, Ohio, passed away peacefully in her home on Sunday, January 4, 2026. Margaret was born in Toledo, Ohio, on August 3, 1946, to the late George and Helen M. (Steinhurst) Toth.

Butler; her children, Kelly Gray, Jodi (John) Stopher, Karen (Rick) Durham, and David (Emily) Butler; her sister, Anne Smith; her cherished grandchildren, Elizabeth, Anthony, Christopher, Anton, Trevor, Cory, Gwendolyn, Claire, and Sophia; and her beloved great-grandchildren, Gregory, Clement, Lucia, and Irene.
