She also volunteered for St. Clare's Hospital for many years and was a member of Denville Senior Citizens and Boonton Catholic Sokols.
Margaret is predeceased by her husband Howard in 1994, cherished grandson Douglas in 1990 and recently suffered the loss of her beloved and youngest son Ralph in July 2012. She is survived by her daughter Joyce Biondi and husband Rich of Denville, her son Howard Lash and wife Fern of Cedar Grove, her sister Irene Crisafulli of Parsippany, grandchildren: Richard, John, Jason, Robin, Christina and her husband Alden Lain.
