Margaret E. Bealer (nee Mason), “Molly”, age 89 of Wayne, died on Tuesday February 19, 2008 at the St. Joseph’s Hospital in Wayne. She had been residing at The Gardens in Wayne.
Margaret was born in Pennsylvania and grew up in the Easton, PA area. Her sister recalls many fond times roller-skating at the Bushkill Park in the summers, and sleigh riding there in the winters. They also had a favorite ‘swimming hole’ near the Bushkill Creek.
In the early 1940’s, her family moved to Paterson where her father was able to find employment in the Wright Aeronautical Factory. Margaret’s boyfriend at the time, Francis Bealer, moved with them to Paterson and they wed shortly thereafter on January 16, 1943 at St. Mary’s Church in Paterson. Margaret and all four of her sisters were able to gain employment at the Wright Aeronautical Factory during the war time and they recall that it was exciting work.
Surviving are three children; Richard Bealer, Barbara O’Brien and her husband Edmund of Paterson, Michael Bealer of Paterson, four grandchildren; Judy Colao of Elmwood Park, Michele Colao of Paterson, Jennifer Bealer of Massachusetts, and Michael Bealer of Tennessee, three sisters; Sadie “Sally” Gaechter of West Milford, Catherine Cunningham “Betty Boop” of Connecticut, and Joan Kemph of Springfield, Vermont. Margaret was predeceased by one son; Francis Jr. in 2004, and one sister; Lena Smits.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Margaret’s name are asked to consider the Foundation for the Handicapped, 30 Woodridge Terrace, Wayne, NJ 07470, Attn: Betty O’Brien.
