She also leaves behind her beloved grandchildren, Alexandra, Charlotte, Isabella, Gabriella, Addyson, and Barrett.

Marguerite spent 30 years at Yale University in the pharmacology department. She was a dedicated "hockey Mom" and relished every moment she found to sing her favorite songs. Frank Sinatra was her first choice however she was challenged to carry a tune. She was a devoted and loving mother, wife, and sister…the best that anyone could ask for. But in recent years, her favorite job was being the most caring Gigi and Grammy to her wonderful grandchildren and Auntie Marge to her nieces and nephews.

A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated Thursday 10am at St. Mary Church of St. John Bosco Parish in Branford CT. Burial will follow in St. Agnes Cemetery in Branford CT. Friends may call Wednesday from 5-7 P.M. at the W.S. Clancy Memorial Funeral Home, 244 North Main Street Branford.
