Margaret or Margie as she was affectionately known by her friends and community in Larchmont and the Sound Shore area. She was a longstanding and active member of the Junior League of Westchester on the Sound and near daily volunteer at the Golden Shoestring for many years. She enjoyed leadership roles in the league such as chairperson of the Golden Shoestring committee and President-elect. Her daughter Kathryn also joined the league.

She was an elementary teacher at Resurrection in Rye and taught CCD at Sts. John & Paul in Mamaroneck. A caring, compassionate and giving person, she was involved in many aspects of her community through different organizations including the Junior League of Westchester on the Sound.

A 3^rd generation Irish-American with roots by both parents in Co. Mayo. As her late brother John once said “My ancestors came here for a better life; all of us have worked to achieve it.” Margaret not only enjoyed a great life with a loving family but made other’s lives better as well as leaving lasting impacts on the community.

This Scholarship was generously begun in Margaret’s memory by her loving mother, Marjorie in 2001.
