Margie, as she was known to relatives and friends was raised in the Bronx, NY, and lived there until she moved to Peekskill in 1987.

She was the beloved daughter of Walter and Theresa (Rothlauf) Dengler who predeceased her in recent years. Also predeceasing her was her beloved nephew, Mark Dengler.
She is survived by her beloved dog Wiggles, her sister Susan McKeon, and brother Richard (Judy) Dengler.
She will be missed by her loving nephews, Brian (Sonia), Michael, Matthew (Danielle) McKeon and Peter W. (Rosa) Dengler, and niece Christine McKeon. Her grandnieces Amanda McKeon, Giuliana and Luciana Dengler, and grandnephew Peter A. Dengler join the long list of those who will miss having her in their earthly lives.

I worked with and was friends with Margaret (aka MAD to me) for many years. I will so miss her in my life. Smart, witty, kind, loyal are just a few words which describe MAD. Sincere condolences to the Dengler Family , all her many friends, and of course her beloved Wiggles. We all have lost an amazing soul. Sheila Willard.

Margaret lived across the street from me. When she inherited Wiggles and was making regular appearances on the street during their walks, I had a chance to engage her. What I remember most is her no-nonsense attitude and interest in all subjects. She was remarkable.
