Mary Beth Boyle Agnes, 71, of Lawrenceville, New Jersey, died Thursday, Sept. 4, 2025, at Capital Health Regional Medical Center, in Trenton, after a brief illness.

Mary Beth was quite the character—in the very best sense of the word. She was opinionated, sassy, full of color in both her clothes and her personality. Her personality and positive attitude was always uplifting and good for the soul. It was impossible not to smile at her whimsical humor and lighthearted outlook on things. She was always generous with gifts and her time, and quick to burst into laughter that often spiraled into uncontrollable snorting. As the oldest of seven siblings, Mary Beth had a big heart. She loved to shop, to spoil family and friends with thoughtful gifts, and to show up for loved ones on every occasion. She particularly loved the Christmas holiday season and had the not-so-subtle sweaters to prove it.

She worked hard for many years putting patients to sleep—and, as she liked to joke, doing the really tricky part of waking them back up. She delighted in simple pleasures: sitting outside and soaking up the beauty of her yard, sneezing in short little bursts, and spoiling her beloved grandpaws rotten. More than anything, she adored her two girls, Kelly and Amy. Mary Beth was also the sibling who kept everyone connected. She was great about picking up the phone just to chat—though it was always wise not to call while “Dancing with the Stars” was on.

Born in Richmond, Va., she was a longtime resident of Lawrenceville, N.J. Mary Beth began her nursing career as a registered nurse, then, while working weekends, put herself through nurse anesthetists school at the Medical College of Virginia. She was employed for many years with Capital Health Systems in Trenton, later in Hopewell and at St. Francis Medical Center, both in New Jersey.

A lifelong Catholic, Mary Beth was a parishioner at The Church of St. Ann in Lawrenceville. She attended St. Paul’s School and St. Gertrude’s High School in Richmond in her youth.

She was a loving and devoted mother, sister, aunt, nurse and friend who will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. Daughter of the late Bill and Betty Boyle; she is survived by her two beloved daughters Kelly Agnes, and Amy Agnes; her siblings and their spouses William Boyle Jr. (Trish), Edward Boyle (Sue), Michael Boyle (Ceil), Ann Whipple (Pete), Bruce Boyle (Neny), and John Boyle (Grace); numerous nieces, nephews and cousins; her grandpaws Rex, Jack, and Sparrow.

Mary Beth’s daughters knew her the best, and their hearts are heavy with their Mom’s unexpected decline.“My mom was the strongest person I’ve ever known, and it’s a daunting prospect to go through this life without her guidance, opinions, and comfort,” Kelly said. “I am so lucky to have had you as my mother, and I am going to miss you every day.”

Amy said Mary Beth filled her life with “so much love, laughter, and light. “When I think of you, I’ll always picture your smile and the peace you found in the simplest things. You were the heart of our family, and the world is gentler, kinder, and brighter because you were in it.”

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday September 19th, 2025 at 11:00 AM at The Church of St. Ann, 1253 Lawrence Road, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648. For the services, we would like to encourage everyone to wear color! Extra points for bedazzlement (in true Mary Beth style).

The visitation for Marybeth will be held on Friday September 19th, 2025 from 9:30AM to 11:00AM at the church.

Interment will be held privately.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Arthritis Foundation by visitation

James J. Breslin, III “Jay”, 57, of Columbus, NJ, passed away on Wednesday, August 20, 2025 at his home. Jay was a beloved husband, father, son, brother, uncle, friend and colleague who will be deeply missed.

Born in Trenton, NJ, he was a former resident of Hamilton, before moving to Columbus. He graduated from Nottingham High School, Villanova University and Villanova Law School. Jay was a successful attorney with over 30 years experience as a trial attorney. He started his career as a Law Clerk to the Honorable Judith A. Yaskin, J.S.C, then practiced with many skilled colleagues in Burlington, Camden and Mercer counties. Currently, he was Of Counsel in the General Liability Group of Cipriani & Werner in Mt. Laurel, NJ. Jay was a consummate professional who respected the legal field and its formal traditions, enjoyed the challenges presented and truly represented his clients' interests to the highest level.

Jay was actively engaged in civic and professional organizations earlier in his career as a member of the Hamilton Township Board of Rent Control, member of the Mercer County Bar Association, member of Justice Brennan Inn of Court and Board Vice President of Child Care Connection. He was a former member of the Trenton St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee and is a member of the Trenton AOH Msgr. Crean Div. #1 in Hamilton.

However, Jay's true joy was his family. As his sons grew up, his primary focus was spending time with them and supporting their interests. He volunteered as a recreational youth sports coach for Mansfield Township. He was a booster club volunteer supporting his sons' recreational, high school and club teams over the years, such as wrestling, lacrosse, baseball, soccer and football. He taught them what it means to be "gentlemen" and "good sports."

When he had time, he liked to fish and would enjoy a round of golf. He didn't think he had the best skills on the course, but he was happy to socialize and end up at the 19th hole! Jay enjoyed spending summers at the shore in Sea Isle City and treasured the memories of special trips to Ireland and Disney World with Kathleen and the boys. He had wonderful friends and looked forward to the annual Crabfest and Seafood on Surry celebrations that had become fun traditions.

Jay is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Kathleen C. Breslin, and their two sons, James J. Breslin IV "J.J." and Thomas M. Breslin. He is also survived by his devoted mother, Jill Breslin, and his sister, Christine Schmidt. He was a cherished brother-in-law to Christine and Patrick Murray and a loving uncle to their daughters, Catherine and Erin Murray. He will be fondly remembered by his uncle and aunt, Bernard and Barbara Campbell, and by his many loving cousins, friends, and colleagues. Jay was preceded in death by his father, James J. Breslin, Jr., and his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Thomas and Joan Castagna.
