Margaret “Marge” Hreha (nee Chase) age 80 of Clifton on Friday, May 16, 2008. Her passing was unexpected however she passed away receiving the loving care of her daughter Marge who was at her bedside.
She was born in Eynon, Pennsylvania and had lived in Clifton for the last fifty-four years.
Marge received her formal education at the Eynon Public Schools.
She was a former parishioner of Saint Mary’s of Vilna RC Church in Eynon, PA and while in Clifton was a parishioner of Saint Brendan’s RC Church.
She leaves her family with many fond memories of a very loving and concerned Wife, Mother and Grandmother who always wanted the best for her children and grandchildren. Mom is best described as a “magnificent” outgoing Mom. “M(magnificent), O (outgoing) M (memorable)”.
A particularly fond family memory is the devotion and love Marge gave to her own mother Anna before her passing.
Perhaps the finest highlight of Margaret’s life was the arrival of grandchildren whom she loved with all of her heart.
Michael and Margaret met at a dance in Sturgis, Pennsylvania and Mike soon determined that this was the girl of his dreams and they were married soon afterward. For forty-eight years they had a “loving and committed” marriage together until Michael’s passing in January of 1999.
Marge was gifted with an upbeat personality that caused her to have many friends. She grew on people very quickly and would often be referred to as a sweet person who made others laugh. She loved to talk and could strike up a conversation with anyone. She loved watching others line dance and was a member of the Cowboys and Sweethearts Dance Troup of Pequannock. Among her favorites was Eddy Arnold and his special song Make The World Go Away. She was also a DonHo fan and loved anything Hawaiian. Marge also in the past was a member of the Deborah Heart and Lung Association Volunteers with her husband and helped raise money to the support the hospital.
Among her favorite things:summer concerts in the park, midnight Mass at Christmas, singing in the choir, adventures with her daughter Marge, Atlantic City slots, rainbows, angels, butterflies, doves, rosaries, puzzle books, all types of jewelry and the very best of all Tabu perfume which she always claimed as her secret weapon to catch Michael as her husband. Marge was best known for her angel-food birthday cakes with rainbow colors inside and her special Easter cheese.
She enjoyed the ethenic festivals including Native American Pow wows, German Festivals, Polish Festivals, Hot air baloon festivals, Polkas, crafts fairs and street fairs. She also had a fondness for anything celebrating her Lithuanian heritage, potato pancakes, stuffed cabbage, shrimp lo-mein and red beet soup.
Surviving are two daughters Margaret “Marge” Hreha of Clifton and Nancy Hreha of Frankford, NJ; two grandchildren Catherine and Victoria Coloccia; many nieces and nephews, many cousins; one Godson
She is also survived by her best friends the Budris girls.
She is also survived by a faithful companion dog Tiffany.
