Obituary

MADISON - Michael F. McGill, age 74, of Madison, passed away on Sunday, Sept. 1, 2024, at William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital. He was born on Nov. 21, 1949, in Dodgeville, the son of Robert McGill and Marjorie (Trentzsch) McGill.


Mike graduated from Sauk Prairie High School in 1967 and proudly served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. He was united in marriage to Audrey Fahey on Dec. 1, 1973. He worked as a meat cutter in the Madison area for 45 years.


Mike’s family was his whole world. He loved sharing stories with them and just simply being all together. He was such a proud grandpa and lit up when they came to visit. He also enjoyed golfing and bowling, and was an avid Packers and Brewers fan.  


Mike is survived by his wife of 50 years, Audrey; daughter, Michelle (Shane) Staff; son, Christopher (Jenni) McGill; grandchildren, Erik, Elise and Evin Staff, and Cullen, Cian and Shaelyn McGill; siblings, Pat (Carla) McGill, Maureen (Tom) Breunig, Dan McGill, Dennis McGill, Kevin (Sue) McGill, Brian (Ann) McGill and Terry McGill; sisters-in-law, Kathleen McGill, Jeanette Wilson, Pat Zimdars and Marlene Fahey and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.


He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Beverly (Gordon) Jenkins; brother, Bill McGill; infant sister, Judy McGill; brother-in-law, Jerry Fahey; and parents-in-law, Raymond and Lillian Fahey.


A celebration of life will be organized for a future date.

My favorite memory: Mike and Audrey drove to Pennsylvania to visit our family. When we were saying our good-byes, I told Mike I really liked his jacket. That quick, he took it off and told me I could have it. I tried to give it back , but he would not take it back. He was really that sweet and giving. We wish we could have seen the family more. Hugs and caring thoughts to the family. Jane and Bob Ronyack.
