Margaret J. McCann, age 88 of Wayne, died peacefully on Saturday November 24, 2007.
Born in Garfield, NJ, she spent her formative years in East Paterson, before the town was renamed Elmwood Park, and attended East Side High School . She married Walter in 1938 and they enjoyed 47 wonderful years together before his passing in 1985. She moved to Wayne in 1992 in order to be closer to her children and grandchildren.
She was an active member of the Curtis Wright Supervisory Retirees organization and since she loved to travel so much, she enjoyed the many trips she was able to take with them. She was also a member of the Golden Agers of Elmwood Park. She had been a very devoted and active member of the Warren Point Presbyterian Church in Fair Lawn, NJ. She also volunteered a great deal of her time to an organization that enabled her to go to elementary schools and read to the young children. This brought her a great deal of satisfaction.
Her hobbies include gardening, knitting, crocheting, line dancing, cooking and sewing, as well as playing cards. She especially loved spending as much time as possible with her family. Margaret was a huge football fan.
Margaret is survived by three daughters: Peggy Slater and her husband Bill of Littleton, NC; Eileen Moon of Wayne; and Susan Olsen and her husband Chris of Wayne. Seven Grandchildren: Bill Slater and his wife Jennifer of Morehead City, NC; Susan Pitcher and her husband Chandler of Virginia Beach, VA; Christian and Kevin Olsen of Wayne; Greg Olsen of Chicago, IL; Christina Moon of Wayne; Karen Veale and her husband Jim of Wayne. Five great-grandchildren: Madelyn and Henry Pitcher of Virginia Beach, VA; Cortney and Sam Slater of Morehead, NC; and Jimmy Veale of Wayne. One sister, Alice Vander Pyle of New York. Margaret was predeceased by her husband Walter in 1985.
