Bradley Funeral Home, 345 Main St., in Chatham, on Friday October 25, 2024, from 2:00-5:00 pm. There will be a prayer service at 4:30 during the visitation.
Born in Stavanger, Norway, Margaret was raised in Bay Ridge Brooklyn by her parents Trygve and Sigrid. She married her husband Egil in 1953, and they resided in Brooklyn prior to moving to Chatham in 1957. She moved to Lantern Hill in New Providence in 2016, where she was involved in a variety of activities which kept her very busy.
She loved spending time with her family. She was always involved in things such as being a Cub Scout Den Mother, a timer for swim meets at the Noe Pond Club and being there for every game that her sons played in a variety of sports and other activities. She also enjoyed being a volunteer at Overlook Hospital and being a member of the Twigs there. Fondly known as “Granny” to all her family members and all of their friends as well, one of her great joys was being able to meet her great grandson Teddy last month.
She was the wife of Egil, who passed away in 2006, the mother of Douglas and his wife Janet of Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, Gary and his wife Linda of New Providence, the grandmother of Kristen and her husband Mitch, Michael and his wife Kelly, and Emily, and the great grandmother of Teddy. She was predeceased by her granddaughter, Kimberly.
