Affectionately known as Rosie by friends and family and Grandma Rosie by her grandchildren, she spent many years volunteering her time to help others, including at the Hudson Valley Hospital gift shop and the Mother Lurana House Adult Social Day Care Center. She also drove senior citizens in need to doctor appointments. She held a special place in her heart for the elderly after caring for her own mother. Rosie enjoyed traveling to Ireland, Aruba and Hawaii. She spent six months in San Diego while caring for her sister and made lifelong friends while living there. A piece of her heart will always be there! Many remember Rosie for her Irish luck! From calling into radio contests, playing bingo, going to Atlantic City and buying raffle tickets any chance she could, to playing her Lotto every day, Rosie has won these games many times throughout the years! She was thrilled to win big on Lotto a few years ago and even got to take her picture with a big check when she claimed her prize! Rosie kept her mind sharp by working on crossword puzzles, and watching Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune every night. She was an excellent speller too! Her grandchildren were her life and she lived for them! Family and friends will honor the life of Margaret on Wednesday from 4 to 8pm at Yorktown Funeral Home. Mass of Christian burial will take place on Thursday at 10am at St. Columbanus Church. Interment to follow Assumption Cemetery.
