Margaret La Forgia

Margaret “Peggy” La Forgia née Glynn, passed away peacefully while surrounded by her loving family on Sunday, September 15, 2024. It brings her family comfort during this difficult time knowing that she is now reunited with her beloved husband Gus (d. 2016).

Peggy’s life began as the cherished youngest of eight children born to Peter and Mary Glynn in New York City.

As a young adult, Peggy started working at Allied Stores in New York when she met her future husband, a young man named Gus. He was walking past her desk when he caught sight of “the most beautiful blonde in the world!” The couple started dating and fell in love. They married on October 24, 1964, and celebrated that marriage with a honeymoon in Bermuda.  

Not long after, they were blessed with 3 beautiful children: Denise, Deborah, and Peter. After Denise and Deborah were born the family moved from New York to Wayne, NJ and eventually to Pompton Lakes, NJ.  She had so much love for her children, and she discovered how boundless that love really was when she was blessed with her grandchildren. They were the light and love of her life, and she cherished every moment she shared with them.

Throughout her life, Peggy’s gentle spirit, loving nature, and warm affection touched the lives of all who were lucky enough to know her. Her legacy of love and unwavering devotion to her family will continue to comfort those she held dear, ensuring her memory lives on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.

Peggy is survived by her three children: Denise Brush, Deborah La Forgia-Murino, and Peter La Forgia and his wife Dana, her 6 grandchildren: Marissa, Matthew, Bryan, Megan, Olivia, and Peter Jr.
