During her retirement she managed to tour a bit of the United States as well as the world. One of her dreams was realized when she visited the country of her ancestors, Ireland. The highlight of her retirement however, was her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Visits with ÔMommom' were highlights for them as well.

Margaret was my Group Leader at the RCA plant in Palm Beach Gardens in the mid 1960's. We were on the 2nd shift, and ate our bag "dinners" together for a long time.

Margaret was a wonderful woman, and we all know where she is now.

Godspeed, Margaret
