Mags had a love of Chestnut Hill and her beautiful historic home, The Anglecot. Her Irish-themed decorated home was featured on the Chestnut Hill Holiday House Tour. She was a member of the Daughters of the British Empire and had volunteered at the Chestnut Hill Women's Exchange. She touched the hearts of all who knew her with her warmth, charm and wit.
Services will be held on Tuesday April 2. Visitation begins at 10 A.M., followed by Funeral Mass at 11 A.M., in Chestnut Hill, at Our Mother of Consolation Church. Mags' ashes will return to Ireland for a Service and Burial at a later date.
