Funeral Sunday for Former Mayor, County Commissioner
Douglas County Commissioner and former Omaha mayor Mike Boyle died Monday morning following a bout with pneumonia. He was 77.
Boyle’s daughter, fellow Douglas County Commissioner Maureen Boyle, announced her father’s death through a spokeswoman for the county.
Boyle had been a fixture in the Nebraska Democratic Party for decades and had served on the board of Nebraska’s largest county since 1997. He was elected mayor of Omaha in 1981 and re-elected to a second term in 1985, but he was removed from office in a recall election the following year.
Boyle was the widower of Anne Boyle, who served 20 years as a Nebraska Public Service Commissioner and led the state Democratic Party from 1998 to 2001. She died in 2019 following a stroke. She and Mike Boyle were married for 58 years.
Mike Boyle is survived by five children and 18 grandchildren. A memorial ceremony is scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday at Heafey-Hoffmann-Dworak-Cutler Mortuaries, 7805 West Center Road. Visitation is 1 to 3 p.m. Attendees should note masks will be required. There will be a livestream at heafeyheafey.com.
