Margaret’s entire life centered around her wonderful family and dear friends.  She cherished time with her husband, daughter, and grandson.  A vibrant woman, she was also known to bring “the fun” to every gathering and thoroughly reveled in holidays and family game nights at her Mom’s along with any occasion involving music and dancing. She enjoyed her beach vacations and looked forward to her yearly visit with the McPhail’s in Florida.  Margaret had a special group of lifelong friends called “The Girls Club” who got together often.  She will be remembered for her happy and outgoing personality as well as her love and concern for others, especially her patients and co-workers at Boston Medical Center.
