Family Tribute

In her early years, she worked at Wyandotte Chemicals, now known as BASF. And then for a short time at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Wyandotte as their secretary. 

Margaret was a devout Catholic. She enjoyed being involved in the happenings at church. She assisted in the offices, taught Catechism, and volunteered to help with Christmas plays. She was a Eucharistic Minister, sang in the choir, and was a lector. For as long as she could, she played a very active role in her church and enjoyed all of it. 

Margaret loved her family. She was there and present for many of her grandchildren’s births. She played an integral part or shared a large part in raising those grandchildren, which brought her so much joy. She could tell you the exact number of all of her grands, her great-grands, and her great-great-grands. And their birthdays! (Almost 50!) And she was proud of every single one. 

Margaret loved life. She enjoyed taking her children and then her grandchildren on road trips down south to West Virginia and Kentucky to visit family. And did so for many, many years. She enjoyed bingo nights and trips to Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum. She loved embroidering and reading. When she was no longer able to read books, she found a new liking in listening to audiobooks. She loved and was always entertained by her family dog. She enjoyed company and just talking, especially sharing stories of her life and experiences. 

Margaret was a truly remarkable Matriarch who is survived by many and will be deeply missed by all.
