Upon graduation, she spent 41 years as an insurance underwriter for the Hartford Insurance Company until her retirement in 1983. As an active communicant of St. Peter’s RC Church for the past 75 years, Margaret was a former member of the Alter and Rosary Society, Legion of Mary, and often serving as usherette at the 12:00PM Sunday Mass. She also enjoyed lectoring and volunteering as an alter server whenever needed. Margaret loved to listen to Irish music, reading, walking along the Terrace and her monthly trips to Atlantic City. Margaret was known for her wit and wonderful sense of humor. She was loved by all who met her and will fondly be remembered as the “life of the party”.
