Margaret, Margie, Mom, Nanny was a loving mother and grandmother who was happiest when her family was together. She spent many years raising her three children, and then spent many more years watching and raising her five grandchildren as well. Margaret was a beloved secretary at Waldwick High School, where she welcomed students and staff with a smile and unforgettable kindness. Margaret enjoyed spending her days with her husband and her family– going to her grandchildren's recitals, sporting events, and ceremonies, watching the Gameshow Network, or going out to an Italian restaurant for dinner.
Margaret was married to her soulmate, the love of her life, Ramon Latterner for 68 years where they raised their family, and showed us all the true meaning of unconditional love, tenderness, and playfulness. Margaret was a devoted Catholic, who spent her time leading by example with her unwavering ability to see the good in everyone and everything.

Nanny was a gentle, thoughtful, and kind soul with a great sense of humor who warmed the hearts of all who knew her and she will be dearly missed.
