Margaret graduated from East High School in Youngstown, Ohio, in 1958. She married Thomas J. McIntee on July 16, 1960, beginning a lifelong partnership filled with love and devotion.

Margaret dedicated her life to being a wife and mother to her four daughters. As a homemaker, she created a warm and welcoming home for her family.

Margaret became famous among family and friends for her spaghetti and meatball dinners at family gatherings.

Her warmth, generosity, and sense of humor touched everyone she met, and she will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
