Margaret Pinkham Obituary

Visit the Feeney Funeral Home - Ridgewood website to view the full obituary.
Margaret Pinkham, 68, of Waldwick, NJ passed away peacefully on December 24th, 2025 surrounded by loved ones, following a long courageous battle. She is survived by her husband of nearly 40 years, Thomas Pinkham; her children, Nicole Perino, Laura Perino and Thomas Pinkham; her beloved grandson Nicholas Perino; her mother Jane Townsend, her sister Jayne (Dave) McCarthy; her brother Roy Townsend; and a long list of nieces, nephews, dear friends and neighbors. She is predeceased by her daughter Megan Pinkham and her father Roy Townsend.

Her life was a testament to her unwavering strength and selfless personality. She worked as a nurse for nearly two decades at St. Joes hospital where her loving, caring spirit shined bright. Her kindness and compassion for her family, friends, and animals was a beauty she carried deep in her soul. But above all she was our Mom, the center of our lives. She was the rock, the glue, and the one you could always rely on with willingness and grace. She embodied strength, resilience and clarity; an inspiration to many. She was there for everyone she loved without hesitation or reservation. To know her is a blessing that will be cherished forever. She will be forever and greatly missed.

As per her request, a private memorial service will be held on January 25th 2026 from 2-5pm at Feeney Funeral Home in Ridgewood, NJ. A springtime ceremony and celebration of life will be held at Maryrest Cemetery in Mahwah, NJ.
