Margaret Gallagher Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 2, 2025.
Margaret Mary Gallagher, 81, from New Port Richey, Florida, formerly from Butler, passed away peacefully after a brief illness on November 30, 2025. Born in Butler on February 9, 1944, she was the daughter of John W and Martha M Orth of Butler.

Margaret married James "Jim" Gallagher in 1966 and had one son, Keith R Gallagher who resides in Tarpon Springs, Florida with his wife, Jamie Burke Gallagher.

She loved living in Florida and really enjoyed the community she lived in. She was walking a mile every day, chatting with neighbors and friends along the way, and sitting in her sunroom reading every book they had in the library. She loved her three granddaughters, Hannah Elliott Shluter, Makenzie Elliott Shaw, Olivia Elliott, and great granddaughter Mabel Shaw, and always looked forward to the time they spent together. She lived a full life filled with love and made an impact on many lives.

Margaret wished to be cremated, with no formal services. In lieu of flowers, please donate in Margaret's honor to one of your favorite charities.
