Margaret F. Addicott 1934-2025
CHAMPION — Margaret Frances Addicott, 91, formerly of Fowler, left her earthly family to go home to her heavenly family, on Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2025. She had resided at Champion Estates Assisted Living since 2016.
She lived a life grounded in faith, service, and devotion – both to the people she loved and the passions that brought her joy.
For 62 years, Margaret lovingly raised Newfoundland dogs. She was awarded the Distinguished Member Award by the Penn-Ohio Newfoundland club.
She was deeply involved in her community, serving as a Trumbull County 4-H Advisor, a Boy Scout Leader, and a Girl Scout Leader, touching the lives of countless young people over the decades. Her commitment to her community was recognized when she was named 1971 Citizen of the Year for Fowler Township.
Margaret had a generous spirit and a nurturing heart. She loved to cook, bake, and she shared freely with all who knew her.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Charles, with whom she shared 64 years of marriage; her sons, Todd Charles Addicott and Ashley John Addicott; and her siblings, Roberta Leonard, Dorothy Ireland and Harold Ireland.
Margaret is survived by her daughters, Christine (Franklin) Castle of Sheridan, Wyoming, and Teresa (Kevin) Ellway of Cortland; three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Penn-Ohio Newfoundland Club c/o David Hartmann, Treasurer 260 Old Mill Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15238; and NEOFA c/o Mark Scheel, Treasurer 4714 Leffingwell Road, Canfield, OH 44406.
The family extends special thanks to Jodi’s Angels, the Fowler Community Church for their care, support, compassion, to Pastor David Pykare and Roger Wood for delivering communion to her and to her hospice nurse Lenore.
A private family graveside service will be held at Dugan Cemetery in Fowler.
A Celebration of Life will be held in the Spring.
