Courtney Terese O'Toole

Courtney Terese O’Toole, of Marshfield, passed away peacefully on September 3, 2026, surrounded by family and close friends.

Courtney is survived by her parents, Gerard and Kathleen O’Toole, her sister, Mary Kate O’Toole, her brother, Patrick O’Toole and his wife, Nicole and her brother, Gerard O’Toole and his wife, Vanessa.

Courtney’s proudest and most cherished role was being an Aunt. Affectionately known as “Auntie,” she adored Coleman, Layla, Luca, Annie and Mia. They brought an immeasurable amount of joy and love into her life, and she treasured every moment with them.

Family was everything to Courtney, even though she would be the first to tell you that they were all crazy. Holidays, birthdays, celebrations, and everyday moments were family affairs, filled with laughter, stories, and the beautiful chaos that came with being part of the O’Toole family. They were, in many ways, their own version of the Griswolds and Courtney wouldn’t have had it any other way.

Her family included her beloved aunts and uncles, Mary Ellen Lewis, Maureen Robinson and her husband, Jimbo, John Walls, Christopher Walls, Patricia Mailloux and her husband, Mark, Michael O’Toole and his wife, Ellen, Kevin O’Toole and his wife, Christine, and Maria O’Toole, as well as countless cousins who were all an important part of Courtney’s life. Courtney was predeceased by her grandparents Thomas and Theresa O’Toole and Jack and Mary Walls, her uncles Thomas O’Toole, Francis O’Toole and Gary Lewis and her aunt Ellen O’Toole.

Courtney was a proud graduate of Marshfield High School, Class of 2005. During her years in the Marshfield school system, she was fortunate to have many wonderful teachers and administrators who made a lasting impact on her life. She also made lifelong friendships that she treasured dearly. Courtney met her best friend, Samantha Pearl, in preschool at South River School, and their friendship remained strong throughout all the years that followed.

Courtney spent her winters at Countryside in Naples, where she quickly became the queen of the pool and the clubhouse. She made many wonderful friends there and cherished her time in Naples, where she was surrounded by sunshine, laughter, friendship, and fun.

Courtney never missed a birthday, anniversary or holiday. You could always count on a text or a call from her wishing you the very best and letting you know she was thinking of you. She had a way of making people feel remembered, celebrated and loved.

Jimmy Buffett was ingrained in Courtney from a young age, and his music was always a special part of her life. Her last family outing was a night out in Boston to see the Coral Reefer Band. Courtney sang along to every song, knowing every word by heart. It was a beautiful night filled with music, laughter, and love, one that her family will forever cherish as a treasured memory of Courtney.

Courtney was born with Spina Bifida and came into this world a fighter. She lived a full and meaningful life and was truly an angel on earth. She had a gift for making people feel loved, welcomed, and cared for. Her warm smile could brighten any room, and her larger-than-life hugs were legendary. And if you were lucky enough to receive one of Courtney’s hugs, you knew she really did give the best hugs.

Courtney leaves behind a lifetime of love, laughter, friendships, memories, and countless people whose lives are brighter because she was in them. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Courtney’s honor at a later time.
