Margaret Moreau Obituary

Margaret E. Matheus-Moreau, 76 y.o. of Rocky Hill, CT passed away May 1, 2020 after a courageous battle against Covid19. The daughter of the late Harry G. Matheus and Helen R. Tompkins of Detroit, MI. She was predeceased by: daughter, Diana R. Hamilton and brother, William Judson Matheus as well as husbands, Douglas E. Hamilton Sr., Plainville, CT and Maurice Moreau, Bristol, CT. Margaret leaves behind two daughters, Phoebe A. Hamilton and Catherine M. Sylvester and son, Douglas E. Hamilton, Jr. Three grandchildren: Steven A. Hornberger, Bristol, Amber L. (Sturgeon) Nemer, Ashland, ME and two great-grandchildren as well as her niece, Sarah (Matheus) Newcombe, Mexico, NY. Finally, a special friend, Sunam Verma, Rocky Hill, CT. Margaret was a Nurse's Aide for several years at Aaron Manor in Chester, CT until retired. She was a fierce advocate for the fair treatment of convalescing seniors and the disabled. She never missed an opportunity to speak up on issues related to neglectful or unethical treatment. Margaret's lifelong passion was in studying holistic remedies benefiting people's health. She always had a suggestion for simple ailments. Our family would like to thank the tireless work of the nurses and doctors of St. Francis Hospital's Covid ward and its ER. Without them, Mom wouldnt have had the best treatments possible at the time.

I miss you Mom..your daily calls, your sense of humor, your chocolate stash you offered everyone a pc as welcoming token. I miss your hugs and seeing your smile, gabbing for hours, seeing you happy watching your Hallmark movies. I miss your educative articles you forwarded daily on holistic health topics. I love you forever...

Dear Mom. You loss was far too sudden. But I will always be grateful for the time we had together. You were a Mom to me and I was a daughter to you. I will never forget the talks, the hugs and all the support. You are a beautiful soul. Know that you are always on my mind and in my heart until we meet again. Love you to the moon and back. Cathy.❤
