Marguerite E. Brennan

Marguerite was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She had a busy household and an indomitable spirit with a happy go lucky sense of humor. Her son Jack was her constant companion and they both loved their dog, Bonnie. She enjoyed camping vacations, her trips to Ireland, her cruise to Alaska with Jack and many concerts and church fairs. She took great pleasure in holding each and every baby born into the family. She will be remembered for her warm and generous heart, whose door was always open to anyone who needed her.
