Margaret A. Barnard (nee Abate) age 56 of Montville and Waretown on Monday, September 1, 2008. She passed away quietly and peacefully while receiving the loving care of her family who were at her bedside.
She was born in Teaneck and had lived her early years in Ridgefield Park before moving to Montville thirty years ago. She also enjoyed a summer home in Waretown.
Margaret received her formal education at the Roosevelt Grammar School in Ridgefield Park and also at the Ridgefield Park High School graduating with the Class of 1970. She then went on to study at Jersey City State College graduating with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education with the Class of 1974.
She was an Eighth Grade teacher at Our Lady of Magnificat RC Church School in Kinnelon and later held the same position at Saint Pius X Parochial School in Montville. Her teaching skills were an art form molded by her faith and carried through with a wide brush of excellence in the love of teaching her students.
She leaves her family with a legacy of love and will always be remembered for her caring ways. Family was a very special dedication for her and her concerns for her children never wavered. She was a wonderful wife, mother, sister and a friend to many.
Margaret especially enjoyed family vacations with her favorite destination at Disney World in Florida.
George and Margaret started their life together as high school “Sweethearts” and enjoyed thirty-four years of “wonderful loving marriage together”.
Great sadness visited her life when she lost her daughter Allison Barnard in October 1989.
Surviving are her loving husband George T. Barnard; one daughter Jessica Barnard and one son Gregory Barnard both of Montville; three sisters Mildred Abate of Glen Gardner, Patricia Duca and her husband Anthony of Bergenfield, Eileen Schettino and her husband James of Clinton Township.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Margaret’s memory are asked to consider The Atlantic Health Care and Hospice, 33 Bleeker Street, Milburn, NJ 07041.
