Margaret Lillian Mulcahey, 79, of Warwick, passed away on Monday, September 22, 2025. Born in Warwick, she was the daughter of the late William and Catherine (Grimes) Cole.

Margaret devotedly served as a Certified Nursing Assistant for many years and was a dedicated wife, mother, sister, and grandmother. One of her favorite things to do would be to go out and try different restaurants with her son and his cousins.

She is survived by her loving husband, William L. Mulcahey, Jr. of Warwick, her son, William L. Mulcahey III of Warwick, her siblings, Doris Rossi of Warwick, Helen Haywood of Warwick, and Richard Cole (Mary) of Pennsylvania, her sisters-in-law, Sharon Hains (Bill) and Barbara Horne, and her grandchildren, William Mulcahey and Haley Mulcahey.

She was the sister of the late Robert Cole and Ronnie Cole.

" My mom was one of the strongest women I've ever known. She had this incredible way of facing life head-on, no matter what came her way. She wasn't just tough-she was kind, funny, and full of life. She could make you laugh even on the hardest days, and she had a way of reminding you not to take yourself too seriously. She carried her strength with grace, but she also carried joy, and that joy was contagious. I'll always admire her resilience, her spirit, and the love she gave so freely. Even though she's not here with us, that strength and laughter she shared will keep living on through all of us."

A Celebration of Margaret's Life will be held on Saturday, September 27, 2025, from 12 Noon to 1:00PM, followed by a Service at 1:00PM at THE URQUHART-MURPHY FUNERAL HOME, 800 Greenwich Avenue, Warwick.
