Margaret, employed for many years at the Suffolk County Court House, passed peacefully at Marian Manor on November 2nd. Margaret was 86 years old and her impish humor was still evident mere hours before she passed away.
Margaret was a true character. It would be the rare occasion for whatever room she honored with her presence to not be illuminated by the sparkle in her eyes. Margaret instantly made friends throughout her life, no matter where she was. Included among those friends are the special ones she made while residing at Marian Manor for the past three years. Her family will be forever grateful to those friends and to the nurses, aides and other Manor staff, for the warmth, kindness, dignity and respect with which they embraced Margaret during her stay there.
