Margaret Morrison
When the going gets tough ….
There was no more dependable person than Margaret. She worked a litany of jobs while she raised her 5 children: when they were just babies she worked the overnights at Sony Records, was a dental assistant for several area dentists, worked at Valley and Bowe and for Frank Centrion Produce Brokerage and finished out her working career as the Assistant Boro Clerk in Swedesboro. And even in retirement she kept active working at the library and volunteering at Kings Things. Truth be told, it wasn’t just her own kids who relied on her; she was a mom figure for so many more. Her home was a safe haven for any other family members and friends who needed a place to stay and a warm meal. Whatever she was making is what you were having but you knew for sure that Fridays were for spaghetti and Sunday was for roast beef. She found her real calling late in life; doting grandmother to her grands and great-grands; Maragaret never forgot a birthday or anniversary. Her happy place was definitely down at the shore; beach all day then off to the casinos at night. She stayed social as well through the years, participating in Red Hats, Logan Twp. Seniors and Aged to Perfection Seniors. She was a 1951 Swedesboro High School Graduate, playing field hockey and cheerleading and was the Homecoming and Prom Queen.
Of course, more than just getting a high school diploma, it’s there that the pretty Margaret would meet a handsome guy, the late Walt. They shared a 40-year marriage blessed by 5 children: the late Robert, the late Rose Marie Matthews, Roxanne Boucher (the late Jeff), Christian and Debra (Tom) Harker; 11 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. She is survived by her sister, Lillian Wolf.
Come celebrate 91 great years Tuesday 9-11 a.m. at Daley Life Celebration Studio, Swedesboro where there will be a 11 a.m. storytime service. Interment St. Joseph Cemetery, Woolwich.

You will be so missed, precious Margaret. You were a wonderful mother in law! We laughed about your son together! I always felt better after that! You were the most generous person I have ever known. It was a an honor to have known you.
My sympathies to the family. I couldn’t have had a better neighbor. God picked a good angel.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal. . Fondly remembered . She was my mothers friend (Dolores Miller McCann) and my aunt’s (Janice Miller Callahan). I.

What a wonderful Aunt, who no matter how busy never missed a thing! I remember the sherbet punch at all showers you thru in the big house! How you and Aunt Lil came all the way down to make sure I had a proper baby shower and then again to share in my wedding shower and wedding. You always spoke so highly in the memories of my Mom. That meant the world that you knew I needed that . I guess it’s because you were both spunky! I know when you got to be with God he said , “Well done my good and faithful servant.”
I will miss Margaret and was so sorry to hear of her passing. I got to know her when she worked at the Swedesboro Library with me. Not too long ago, I was able to do a historical interview with her and Judy Daley. (go to archive.org – type in Swedesboro oral history project).
Margaret was always quick to smile and had a great sense of humor. She was easy to talk to and fun to be around. She was always talking about her family – you could tell how much they all meant to her.
May she rest in peace…..
