Margaret had a wonderful sense of humor; her graphic t-shirts and sweatshirts reflected her readiness to share a laugh with others.  She loved nature, gardening, and gazing at the stars.  A friend to all animals with a special fondness for cats.   Margaret was a graduate of Kaynor Technical High School class of 1965 where she majored in cosmetology.  She was a hairdresser, homemaker and business woman.  She was kindhearted, strong and selfless.  Family was the center of everything for Margaret; her daughters were gifted with the unconditional love, freedom and encouragement to be as independent, creative and caring as she was.  Being Nana to her grandsons, baking, movie and dinner dates with Frank, feeding the birds and squirrels, and word puzzles were a few of Margaret’s joys. Family was the center of Margaret’s world; her daughters, vacations to the shore, holiday celebrations, grandchildren, sons-in-law and time with friends brought her joy beyond measure.
