Margaret was an elegant lady - always.

Love and miss you, Mom.

Margaret was always so sweet coming in to Hayes and helping out with our library for years. I miss her smile.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers BY EMILY DICKINSON "Hope" is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all - And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm - That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm - I´ve heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me.

Margaret will always hold special memories with our family. My parents Georgianne and Bob Wanous were friends with Margaret over the years. There are many fond memories with her. She was not only a great friend but was such an amazing mother and grandmother ... seen first hand. She will be missed not only by her family, but her dear friends and her church family. May her dear soul who has been reunited with her beloved husband and her son, Rest In Peace.

I've known Mrs Kelleher since I was 3 years old. She lived near me and was a librarian at my elementary school. Her daughters used to babysit me as a child. When I moved back to Woodward as an adult she recognized me and stopped to said hello. We used to wave at each other from across the street. And I always saw her walking her dog. I was sad when she moved out. She was a great lady. I am sorry to hear of her passing. Prayers for her family and friends.

It was wonderful to listen to Margaret's readings of Holy Scripture at the Community of Saint Peter. Her elegant presence was a great gift.

Margaret was a lovely, kind and caring person. I always enjoyed meeting her when walking our dogs on Woodward Avenue and sharing the latest news. She always had a smile on her face and a funny story to tell. Margaret was a classy, intelligent and outspoken woman whom I always admired. My sincere condolences to her family and friends.

Margaret was a dear neighbor of our Woodward Avenue community. We enjoyed her friendly hellos and positivity. Her beautiful smile says it all. Her love will live on Woodward forever. I frequently walked my dog and visited with her in her front yard. She always shared a kind word. Sympathy to her wonderful family and to all those touched by her life. May she Rest In Peace and walk puppies in heaven forever. Fondly, Diane, Claire & Erin Black and our pup Ellie
