WELLINGTON — Margaret Elizabeth Teehan, 86, of Wellington, died Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2016, at her home, surrounded by her family. She was born on Sept. 4, 1929, in Elyria to the late Howard and Josephine (nee Edmunds) Broome. Margaret grew up in Oberlin and moved to Wellington in the early 1950s.

Margaret worked as a telephone operator for several years in both Oberlin and Wellington and later worked at Forest City in Wellington and PFI. She had been a member of the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Wellington for several years.

Margaret enjoyed spending time in her garden, growing both flowers and vegetables, the later she would can for friends and family. Bingo was a favorite pastime of Margaret's. She loved to travel and made trips to Las Vegas, Guatemala, Belize, and the Gulf of Mexico. An adventurous spirit, on her 76th birthday Margaret decided to celebrate by going skydiving. Family was important to Margaret and she will be remembered for the parties that she hosted and especially for the the homemade pizza that she provided for the gatherings.

Margaret is survived by her children, Rebecca (David) Jones of Wellington, Jane Coen and Violet (Jeff) Sheldon both of Las Vegas, Yvonne (Joel) Laird and Timothy (Denise) Teehan both of LaGrange; 18 grandchildren; 34 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; and brothers Thomas and Lawrence Broome. She was preceded in death by her husband of 51 years, Matthew Teehan; sons Patrick and Micheal "Mickey" Teehan; a great-grandchild, Grace Nicole Vaughn; and siblings Yvonne Welter, Richard, Wesley, William, and James Broome.

A funeral service was held Jan. 30 at the First Congregational United Church of Christ, Wellington, with the Rev. Brian Burke officiating. Burial will take place at a later date at Greenwood Cemetery, Wellington. Donations in Margaret's memory may be directed to the church for its roof fund.
