Margaret (Hulbert) Franco, age 71 of Wayne, passed peacefully on Monday, January 6, 2014.
She was born in Paterson and raised in Totowa having graduated from Passaic Valley High School with the Class of 1960. Margaret was a bookkeeper for most of her career. She also enjoyed a life long goal of owning her own store, “The Treasure Nook”, in Clifton, from 1984-85. Margaret retired in 2013 from McBride Enterprises where she was employed for past twenty-five years.
Margaret met her late husband Peter Franco in 1974 and they married on October 14, 1977. Two families became one. Margaret and Peter enjoyed a loving and dedicated marriage for thirty-three years before Peter’s passing on October 25, 2010.
Margaret was happiest being surrounded by her family. Her life was found in the enjoyment of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her devotion to her family and friends was the center of all she did. Margaret will be remembered most by her strong belief in the love of “family”.
Margaret was the loving wife of the late Peter Franco Jr., devoted mother to her daughter, Lynn Heydt and her husband Steve of Wayne, NJ; her daughter Diane Rasa and her husband Dr. David Rasa of Wayne, NJ; her son Robert Franco and his wife Linda of Oakridge, NJ; her daughter Shelley Larthey and her husband Lawrence of The Villages, Florida; and her son Peter Franco III of The Villages, Florida. Margaret is also survived by her grandchildren Nicole, Michael, Davina, Emily, Andrew, Peter Joseph, Bobby, Lilliana, Jenifer, James, Kevin John, Jocelyn, and Chelsy and is blessed with thirteen great-grandchildren. She was a dear sister of Joseph Hulbert and his wife Connie of Pompton Plains and of Ruth Joan Gilmore of Brick. Margaret was predeceased by her father Joseph Hulbert, by her mother Lillian Hulbert, and by her niece Lisa Hulbert.
