Bradford Darrell “Brad” Toogood

Bradford Darrell “Brad” Toogood; March 12, 1948 – June 28 2026

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Bradford Darrell Toogood, lovingly known as Brad, who passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by those who cherished him most.

Born on March 12, 1948, Brad spent his life building a legacy rooted in hard work, devotion, and deep love within Clinton, the Beaver County community he proudly called home.

A masterful floor coverer and a dedicated union member for more than 40 years, Brad took great pride in his craft. His work ethic was matched only by his appreciation for the world around him.

An avid lover of nature, he found joy in fishing, exploring woodlands, and spending quiet moments with a good book.

Brad possessed a brilliant mind and a lifelong passion for history, the arts, and meaningful conversations, especially when shared over a hearty meal.

Brad now reunites with his parents, Clifford and Elizabeth Toogood; recently his brother, Clifford “Biff” Toogood; his childhood sweetheart and first wife, Karen (Bennett); and the love of his life and second wife, Carol (Rabich).

Their memories were a constant source of comfort and strength throughout his life.

He leaves behind a family who adored him deeply; his daughter, Alicia, and her husband, Kevan; his son, Victor; his grandchildren, Joseph (Carolina), Joshua, Emmy, Andrew, Sadie, and Dustyn; and his great-grandchildren, Kole and Lacey.

Brad’s presence, wisdom, quick-witted humor, and unwavering love will be profoundly missed by all who knew him.

Brad’s life was one of quiet strength, curiosity, and connection. His legacy lives on in the stories he shared, the lessons he taught, and the family he loved so fiercely.

Honoring Brad’s wishes, there will be no public viewing. A graveside service for family will be held to lay him to rest with love and dignity.

A celebration of life to honor both Brad and his brother Biff will be held at a later date, where friends and extended family can gather to share memories and pay tribute to their lives.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Beaver County Humane Society in Brad’s memory, an organization that reflects his lifelong love and respect for animals.

Russell Dewane Wilson

RUSSELL DEWANE WILSON (77) 1948-2026

With hearts full of gratitude and sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved, Russell D. Wilson, (Pippy, Rick, Rusty), as he took his last breath on April 5, 2026, at the home he built in Robinson Township, Washington County.

From humble beginnings, being born on the farm during Thanksgiving dinner preparations, on November 25, 1948 in Clinton, PA to James H. and Olive (McCullough) Wilson, he was the youngest of eight children. He built a life anchored in core values of hard work, honesty, resilience and a dislike for milk products – the family cow got into some skunk weed and tainted the milk!

Russ was a devoted son, brother, and husband to Sherry (Eaton) for 41 years; a loving father to Tammy (John) and Eric; an ornery grandfather to Victoria (Corey), Chase, Logan, and Domenic; and a life-long friend to many that would Christmas Carol in the middle of July – in the middle of the night.

After graduating from West Allegheny High School, Russell joined the US Army as a Radio Telegraph Operator. Upon his return home, he took up working with his brother repairing Texaco pumps, became a machine operator and basically became a jack of all trades. He was an avid baker, learned to build furniture, liked to play cards and developed a soft spot for furry friends.

He was a man who measured life not in accomplishments, but the simpler things in life to appreciate from picking your own berries to make jam, to ensuring that the next generation would keep their word and help someone on the side of the road.

In addition to the people he loved in this tribute, he is survived by his sister, Nancy and many nieces and nephews.

Friends will be received at the Moody Funeral Home, 1227 Route 30, Clinton, PA 15026 on Thursday, April 9 from 2-6 pm with the service immediately following at the funeral home. He will be laid to rest in Hopewell-Hebron Cemetery.
